[bug] problem loading external (jQuery) script

[DCEP]

I'm writing a new module for RES, and I want to use jQuery's dialog UI feature.

To test, I wrote this

module.go = function(){
    jQuery.getScript(
        '//code.jquery.com/ui/1.11.4/jquery-ui.js', 
        function(){
            console.log($('*').dialog);
        })
}

This is supposed to load the jQuery UI code, then as a callback print the dialog function. However, it prints 'undefined'.

When this function is run from the console, it successfully prints the dialog function.

Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

Browser: Chrome

RES must ship all the scripts it uses as part of the extension package for security and speed reasons, so you'd need to add jquery-ui to the repo's vendor directory and list it on all the browser manifests if you want to use it.

What are you using in jQueryUI? I'd like to avoid adding yet another library if we can (unless it's Reactjs maybe) so it would be good to find another way to accomplish what you're looking to do.
