7 years ago ECMAScript does not specify the resolve rules.
The only existing spec for this is in HTML (<script type=module>) which requires full URLs (it does not add .js) so you should include .js in your import declaration.

7 years ago Not sure that I agree with the policy of requiring the '.js' suffix in the 'from "./zzz.js"'. It should work both with and without the suffix's presence. Are you familiar with the GNU 'make'. It goes to an extreme amount of trouble finding the proper source file. Maybe 'traceur' and other JS processors should follow suit. One article that I saw on the net said that 'traceur' used to accept '"zzz"'.
This should probably go in another 'issue' but I'm lazy. It seems that 'traceur' doesn't understand the *nix symlink. I get a bunch of strange errors when I attempt to use them. I have a Cygwin installation that sits on top of a Windows Vista Home Basic OS. When I make the following symlinks
cd master/acorn-master/src
for x in *.js ; do
rm ${x%.js}
ln -s $x ${x%.js}
done
traceur --out junk.js index.js
'traceur' produces beaucoup strange errors. If I make the following hard links instead
cd master/acorn-master/src
for x in *.js ; do
rm ${x%.js}
ln $x ${x%.js}
done
traceur --out junk.js index.js
everything seems to work.

ECMAScript does not specify the resolve rules.
The only existing spec for this is in HTML ( Githubissues.
In another universe far, far away - the files in the acorn/src directory all have a '.js' suffix. The files themselves import/export from/to '"./xxx"' <- note no suffix. 'traceur' gets very unfriendly with that form of name specification. If each 'xxx.js' file is copied to 'xxx2.js' and modified to import/export from/to "xxx2.js", 'traceur' is happy.
So according to the newer ECMA specs, which one is correct - with or without?
