I don't believe `require` works with absolute paths, like those generated by path.resolve. (Could be wrong.) If I'm correct, then you may find path.relative to be a useful method.
Also note that of course path.resolve without a second argument will resolve relative to process.cwd(), not relative to __filename. This is rarely what you want.
