How do I create an app with a Splunk setup page that has additional dependencies?

I'm trying to create an app with a setup page, and I'm having issues including two separate JS files that are located under the appserver/static/js folder in the app.

I haven't been able to add additional JS files apart from the setup_page.js.

In the setup_page.js, I have included the files as requireJS demands:

require.options( {
    paths: {
         myapp: "../app/myapp/js/"
       }
  });

then:

require([jquery, splunkjs/mvc, "myapp/spinner.js", "myapp/modal.js"]);
However, none of the files modal or spinner are loading. I'm getting a RequireJS scripterror, along with a 404, from the Splunk setup page when i try to load the page, which is crashing the JS.

VM138:1903 GET http://10.X.X.X:8000/en-US/static/@e21ee54bc796.107/app/myapp/javascript/spin.js net::ERR_ABORTED 404 (Not Found) setup_page:1

Refused to execute script from 'http://10.X.X.X:8000/en-US/static/@e21ee54bc796.107/app/myapp/javascript/spin.js' because its MIME type ('text/html') is not executable, and strict MIME type checking is enabled.

I've tried moving around the files, changing names, changing from require.options to require("myapp/myscript") etc, to no avail..

Im stumped and don't know how to continue. Please if there are any suggestion, shoot!

I think all you have to do is restart SplunkWeb. The front end won't believe that the file exists unless it sees the file itself during startup. It's a bit silly but it's a very longstanding annoyance.

Thanks, ended upp doing that and a few other modifications, and it worked. Not sure if the restart was the trick or some other hack, but it works now.
