javascript - Require.js Error: Load timeout for modules: backbone,jquerymobile

Question

I am trying to use r.js to optimize my code but I keep running to this error:

Tracing dependencies for: init

Error: Load timeout for modules: backbone,jquerymobile

The command I am running is this:

$ java -classpath /Users/dixond/build-tools/rhino1_7R4/js.jar:/Users/dixond/build-tools/closurecompiler/compiler.jar org.mozilla.javascript.tools.shell.Main /Users/dixond/build-tools/r.js/dist/r.js -o /Users/dixond/Sites/omm_mobile/js/build.js

My build.js file looks like this:

( {
    //appDir: "some/path/",
    baseUrl : ".",
    mainConfigFile : 'init.js',
    paths : {
        jquery : 'libs/jquery-1.8.3.min',
        backbone : 'libs/backbone.0.9.9',
        underscore : 'libs/underscore-1.4.3',
        json2 : 'libs/json2',
        jquerymobile : 'libs/jquery.mobile-1.2.0.min'

        },
        backbone : {

            exports : 'Backbone'
        }
    },

        no_mangle : true
    },

    has : {

        'string-trim' : false
    },
    hasOnSave : {

        end : "}());"
    },
    preserveLicenseComments : true,
    logLevel : 0,
    cjsTranslate : true,
    useSourceUrl : true
})

And my init.js looks like this:

 requirejs.config({
      //libraries
      paths: {
          jquery:       'libs/jquery-1.8.3.min',
          backbone:     'libs/backbone.0.9.9',
          underscore:   'libs/underscore-1.4.3',
          json2 :       'libs/json2',
          jquerymobile: 'libs/jquery.mobile-1.2.0.min'
      },

      //shimming enables loading non-AMD modules
      //define dependencies and an export object
      shim: {
          jquerymobile: {
              deps: ['jquery'],
              exports: 'jQuery.mobile'
          },
          underscore: {
              exports: '_'
          },
          backbone: {
              deps: ['jquerymobile', 'jquery', 'underscore', 'json2'],
              exports: 'Backbone'
          }
      }
    });


requirejs(["backbone",], function(Backbone) {
    //Execute code here
});

What am I doing wrong in this build process?

Require.js has a Config option called waitSeconds. This may help.

RequireJS waitSeconds

Here's an example where waitSeconds is used:

requirejs.config({
    baseUrl: "scripts",
    enforceDefine: true,
    urlArgs: "bust=" + (new Date()).getTime(),
    waitSeconds: 200,
    paths: {
        "jquery": "libs/jquery-1.8.3",
        "underscore": "libs/underscore",
        "backbone": "libs/backbone"
    },
    shim: {
        "underscore": {
            deps: [],
            exports: "_"
        },
        "backbone": {
            deps: ["jquery", "underscore"],
            exports: "Backbone"
        },
    }
});

define(["jquery", "underscore", "backbone"],
    function ($, _, Backbone) {
        console.log("Test output");
        console.log("$: " + typeof $);
        console.log("_: " + typeof _);
        console.log("Backbone: " + typeof Backbone);
    }
);
