Unable to use Ace as RequireJS dependency

Question

I'm trying to use Ace with RequireJS, but this code below is not working. The Ace script was downloaded, but the required parameter ace is always undefined.

requirejs(['https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/ace/1.4.3/ace.js'], function (ace /*always undefined*/) {
  console.log(ace);
});

I'm using RequireJS 2.3.6

It seems that, in order to work, you need to configure a path in requirejs configuration pointing to the CDN folder:

requirejs.config({
    baseUrl: '',
    paths: {
        ace: ['https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/ace/1.4.3/']
    }
});

and then require the ace module:

requirejs(['ace/ace'], function (ace) {
    console.log(ace);
});
