wire should propagate module errors up to curl.js about wire HOT 9 CLOSED

Copying @dizzib

from wire.

For completeness, this also applies to a deferred wire child e.g.

self._wire_child().then(pass, fail)

AFAICT fail() never gets called.

My current workaround is to throw an exception if the app hasn't loaded within a specified timeout. Cheers!

Yep, that's correct, @dizzib. Wire has no way of detecting module load failures, due to current limitations of the AMD spec. It should be easy to extend the AMD spec a bit and bridge the disconnect, at least between wire and curl. I've done some work on this in the dev branch, but need to sync up with @unscriptable to finish it up.

This is ready to go in wire's dev branch. We can sync up with curl as soon as it makes sense, and hopefully release both around the same time.

Hey guys. Has this been synced up with curl? Any idea on when this might happen?

from wire.

Hey Tiago, curl has this feature in the dev branch. Definitely by next week. See cujojs/curl#83 -- J

from wire.

Hiya Tiago. Yep, what John said :) The dev branches of both wire and curl are in sync on it, so when their next releases happen, it'll just work.

from wire.

Great stuff. I might even try a dev build in the meanwhile so I can test these improvements. Thanks guys!

from wire.

Cool, please do. The usual dev-branch caveats apply, but we'd certainly love to have your feedback.
