Added NODE_PATH support and tests. ---
[This is the code](https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/master/lib/internal/modules/cjs/loader.js#L789) that generates those GLOBAL_FOLDERS. It's straightforward to replicate this functionality in cordova-fetch, but the way it finds the node_prefix [has changed because the node binary moved](https://github.com/nodejs/node-v0.x-archive/blob/061151c/lib/module.js#L511), and I don't know if it could in the future. Unfortunately, `globalPaths` seems to be undocumented, though it can be accessed through `require('module').globalPaths` in all node versions thus far, as far as I can tell. It can also be accessed by looking at the last three items of `module.path`. All of these options have drawbacks, and supporting GLOBAL_FOLDERS would be "mostly for historic reasons". @raphinesse, up to you whether to support them and which option has the best trade-offs for the cordova project. --- As far as testing global modules, I only see two ways of testing it: 1. actually install a global module and uninstall it afterwards, which could be disruptive and require sudo on some systems 2. use NODE_PATH to simulate global modules, but this is indistinguishable from testing NODE_PATH support [ Full content available at: https://github.com/apache/cordova-fetch/pull/44 ] This message was relayed via gitbox.apache.org for [email protected]
