The use case is that I want to reference the file
Packages/jsonetl-master/dist/Request.js. By creating a mock Request.js you
prevent the issue. Had you attempted the manifest as written without further
modification, I expect the error would have occurred.
The purpose of the use case is to re-use the
Packages/jsonetl-master/dist/Request.js and assign inputs to the action. Here's
an example of doing so:
```
request-accounts:
function: Packages/jsonetl-master/dist/Request.js
runtime: nodejs:8
inputs:
_url: https://accountmanagement.bluemix.net/coe/v2/getaccounts
_bearer: ${UAA_TOKEN}
```
The `request-accounts` action will always use the statically defined `_url`.
You might then say, "Why not just supply `_url` as an input parameter upon
invocation?" The answer is because once the action is part of a sequence, that
input parameter is lost unless upstream actions continue to forward it. So this
gives me a way to bake in parameters for actions that exist within sequences.
If there is a better way to achieve this, I'm open to alternate approaches.
