Does Smidge not play nicely when trying to include an external resource using the SmidgeHelper in a partial view? Something like

SmidgeHelper.RequiresJs($"https://somescript.js");

I would expect the above to be smidged in but yet it is not, is this a known working thing? Local script resources get included and rendered just fine? Umbraco 11.4

I'm not very familiar with smidge, but what are you seeing and what are you expecting? Is your source not included at all, or is it included, but in a way that you didn't expect? If it's the former, I would recommend checking the order of execution of your razor templates.

Does order of operations matter if the scripts are unique to a partial? As the script would only get included if the partial is used?

My thought was that perhaps the script tags are rendered before your call to

RequireJs

is made. So smidge might not know that your asset exists

Actually smidge should support external scripts. It is a bit unintuitive in the way that it works though. It doesn't work for named bundles and it creates standalone script tags for external resources. https://github.com/Shazwazza/Smidge/issues/20#issuecomment-198369543

That's interesting, so it'll include them but not minify etc. (which makes a lot of sense)

But what If Im not seeing a script tag output for an external resource at all?

@TECKSPEED Are you seeing your local scripts rendering fine?

Figured it out apparently uSkinned doesn’t call RenderJsHere()
