Magento2 not reading my requirejs-config.js

Question

I'm new to Magento2 and trying to figure out how RequireJS works in Magento.

Here is my situation:

I have following module:

app/code/Mymodule/Test/view/frontend/requirejs-config.js

Here is the content of this file:

var config = {
map: {
    '*': {
        jQuery110: "Mymodule_Test/js/jquery-1.10.2",
        jqueryNoConflict: 'Mymodule_Test/js/jquery.no-conflict',
        flexslider: 'Mymodule_Test/js/jquery.flexslider-min',
        header: 'Mymodule_Test/js/store/header'
    }
}
};

My theme is at this location:

app/design/frontend/Mycompany/Basic

My Javascripts are at following location:

app/code/Mymodule/Test/view/frontend/web/js/jquery.no-conflict.js
app/code/Mymodule/Test/view/frontend/web/js/jquery.flexslider-min.js
app/code/Mymodule/Test/view/frontend/web/js/store/header.js

In the PHTML file:

app/code/Mymodule/Test/view/frontend/templates/home.phtml

I added the lines:

require(['jqueryNoConflict', 'flexslider'],function($, flexslider){
    (function($) {
        $(window).load(function () {
            $('.flexslider').flexslider();
        });
    })(jQuery);
});

When I check my page in browser, I get 404 error with paths:

http://mag2.com.local/pub/static/frontend/Mycompany/Basic/en_US/flexslider.js

But if I change the require[] line to this:

require(['Mymodule_Test/js/jquery.no-conflict', 'Mymodule_Test/js/jquery.flexslider-min'],function($, flexslider){
    (function() {
        $(window).load(function () {
            $('.flexslider').flexslider();
        });
    })(jQuery);
});

the files are loading.

I also cleared the cache, my theme is correct, I executed the command:

php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy

So, I am not able to figure out why my requirejs-config.js is not loading. I followed the documentation as well.

Answer 1

I found the problem.

Under pub/static/_requirejs/frontend/Namespace/Theme/en_US, delete the file requirejs-config.js.

Refresh your page and it will be generated again with new content.
