When using sweetalert (or any 3rd party library) you just add the min.js file as a custom module? SetTimeout is giving me an error

```Fail to evaluate script: org.mozilla.javascript.EcmaError: ReferenceError: "setTimeout" is not defined. (/SuiteScripts/Modules/sweetalert.min.js#1)```
When trying to save the script. I do not even have my script using it yet...

netsuite evaluates libraries so that it can do things like detect entrypoints

this is done serverside, so those client libraries dont have access to browser globals

i usually use the <https://github.com/amdjs/amdjs-api/blob/master/require.md#local-vs-global-require-|local require> in the relevant entry point code to get around it, you can also use the global require function if you dont care about relative paths

do i need to implicitly tell it to use AMD

all i should have to do is var Swal = require('SuiteScripts/Modules/sweetalert.min.js') in the function that is using SWAL

<@U5TF1GQ20> for the link you posted, have you had success with the inline CommonJS style they showed in (serverside) SuiteScripts? maybe I am doing something wrong but I could never get that to work, in my experience always needed to be the require with dependencies[] &amp; callback style

<https://requirejs.org/docs/whyamd.html#sugar|simplified CommonJS wrapping>, its equivalent to to putting the dependency in the define

you must use the callback style require in your entry point

hmm this does not seem to work for me
I either get
_"Module name ___ has not been loaded yet for context: _. Use require([])"_ 
or
_"Module name __has not been loaded yet for context: /SuiteScripts/pathto/scriptFile.js","requireType":"notloaded"}_

interesting, it seems to only work for the second variation on <https://github.com/amdjs/amdjs-api/blob/master/require.md#local-vs-global-require->
no ['require'] even though the doc makes it seem like those are equivalent?

in any case, how would you do something like
```define(['N/record'],function (record, require) { 
...
var test1 = require('./testmod1')
...
})```
then? appears `require` then becomes undefined

```define(["N/record", "require"], function (record, localRequire) {
  localRequire(["./testmod1"], function (testmod1) {});
});```

<@U5TF1GQ20> I am saying though in combination with prior statement, like having the ["require"] at all gives me the "Module has not been loaded yet for context" error, so only seems to work when I have as style
```define(function (require) { ...```
like I am also desiring/expecting to be able to use `var test1 = require('./testmod1')` inline somehow as well, maybe that particular combination of everything is not possible.

Edit : Ah ok maybe just cant mix and match ... just having `var record = require('N/record')` as well seems to give me what I am looking for :)
