Hi,

Check if your "*.js" files have been loaded before your REST operation.

Did you try to execute the resquest through you browser ?

GetFileByServerRelativeUrl.... since you're getting a FILE, you'll need a URL to a FILE (not just a library)... by SERVER relative URL, so you'll need to include the site collection path and such, not just the subsite relative URL.

Now working fine....

url: appweburl + "/_api/SP.AppContextSite(@target)/web/ GetFileByServerRelativeUrl('/sites/apps/Shared Documents/test.txt')/CheckOut()?@target='" + hostweburl + "'",
        method: "POST",
        data: metatdata,
