Paul Joseph Davis commented on COUCHDB-1151:
--------------------------------------------
I'm confused. You mean that the fix for 1075 fixes this issue but you don't
want to close this in case we don't apply that patch? If so I'll just mark this
as a duplicate which will link the two issues but not confuse people about
what's fixed where.
> Require function doesnt fullfil specification
> ---------------------------------------------
>
> Key: COUCHDB-1151
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1151
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: JavaScript View Server
> Affects Versions: 0.11.2, 1.0.2, 1.1
> Reporter: Alexander Shorin
> Priority: Critical
> Labels: commonjs, javascript, require
> Attachments: design.require.txt, design_docs.js.patch,
> id_and_require_fixes.patch, utils.js.patch
>
> Original Estimate: 1h
> Remaining Estimate: 1h
>
> According CommonJS Modules specification [1]:
> > 4. Module identifiers may be "relative" or "top-level". A module
> > identifier is "relative" if the first term is "." or "..".
> > 5. Top-level identifiers are resolved off the conceptual module name space
> > root.
> This specification is broken in current realization at those terms. See
> design test case.
> Actually problems:
> 1. Module id is broken if module imports from same level (as via '.') or from
> parent level (as via '..'). AFAIK, module id should be valid to make
> require(mod.id) call successful. See`_show/relative-id`,
> `_show/require-relative-id` and `_show/relative-parent-id` function.
> 2. Absolute module import is broken from relative imported module.
> See`_show/absolute-require` function.
> 3. Multiple relative imports from same level(as via '.') breaks require
> function. See `_show/maze` function.
> Those problems makes require function works unexpectedly and obstructs
> solving at least one more issue #1075 [2]
> I know that all relative imports are discouraged, but if they are supported,
> why they shouldn't work properly?(:
