Using RequireJS in an Azure deployment file

Question

We have been using RequireJS Optimizer in our deployment file for months now. Everything was working.

Basically what we are doing is the following:

We compile our Coffee scripts files

node %DEPLOYMENT_SOURCE%\build\node_modules\coffee-script\bin\coffee -co "%DEPLOYMENT_SOURCE%\src\Web\Scripts" "%DEPLOYMENT_SOURCE%\src\Web\Coffee"

Then we opitmize the js files into a single file using RequireJS:

node "%DEPLOYMENT_SOURCE%\build\node_modules\requirejs\bin\r.js" -o "%DEPLOYMENT_SOURCE%\build\build.js"

Locally, it works #1. But on Azure we have this error:

Cannot optimize network URL, skipping: //1.1.1.1.1/path/site/repository/src/Web/Scripts/dashboard/almond.js

Please note that I changed the IP and the paths.

I checked the documentation of RequireJS, and in fact it does not support network URLs when optimizing.

The same script was working a few days ago.

Anybody aware of changes in Azure that could have lead to this? Any workaround?

Thanks a lot

我通过在调用r.js时重写baseUrl使其工作：

node "%DEPLOYMENT_SOURCE%\build\node_modules\requirejs\bin\r.js" -o "%DEPLOYMENT_SOURCE%\build\build.js" baseUrl=%DEPLOYMENT_SOURCE%\src\Web\scripts
