Q 2.0.0 installed with Bower causes Uncaught ReferenceError: require is not defined
bower, q
Solution
Bower is not very smart about selecting versions. As it happens, there is a 2.0 release train that is not compatible with Bower at all. You will want to install q#1.0.1 specifically.
Problem
I am using Q in a project, and I am using bower to manage my JS dependencies. I am including Q 2.0.0 with bower in bower.json ``` "dependencies" : { "q": "~2.0.0" } ``` In my index.html, I include Q with a script tag ``` <script src="bower_components/q/q.js"></script> ``` When I load the page, I see in the console: Uncaught ReferenceError: require is not defined q.js:43 Line 43 of q.js: ``` require("collections/shim"); ``` What am I missing here? Should I be using Browserify or require.js to get this to work? I expected the library to be accessible by simply using a tag.
