How do I use a 3rd party lib required by a script tag in the html file?

[NullVoxPopuli]

I've given up with imports/requires, so I am trying the script-tag way.

in src/index.html:

 {{#unless environment.production}}
 <!-- These two files (used for testing) cannot be included the 'normal' way,
 because angular-cli's build tools don't resolve dependencies of 3rd party libs. -->
 <script src="/dist/vendor/sinon/pkg/sinon.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
 <script src="/dist/vendor/axios/dist/axios.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
 {{/unless}}
</head>

and in angular-cli-build.js:

 vendorNpmFiles: [
 ...
 'sinon/**/*.js',
 ],

and then in my test:

declare var sinon:any;
...
 beforeEach(() => sandbox = sinon.sandbox.create());

I get the error:

 ReferenceError: sinon is not defined

---

$ ng --version
angular-cli: 1.0.0-beta.6
node: 5.10.1
os: linux x64

how do I use the library?

after running ng test, there are 0 console errors in the opened chrome window. The errors are only in the terminal.

The way you are calling the scripts is wrong:
<script src="/dist/vendor/axios/dist/axios.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

Should be:
<script src="vendor/axios/dist/axios.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

If you open the Developer tools in Google Chrome go to Console unselect Hide network messages and you should see the 404

Hope you see the difference :)

I changed the script tags in my index.html file to:

 <script src="vendor/sinon/pkg/sinon.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
 <script src="vendor/axios/dist/axios.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

my chrome has never given me 404s with this issue:

In the network pane, I don't even see a call to sinon.js

the same thing happens with jQuery, so it's non sinon specific

Closed as issue was made obsolete by #1455. You shouldn't have the issue that originally led to this approach, as webpack handles the dependencies of dependencies as you would expect it to.
