Package: node-resolve
Version: 1.1.7-2
Severity: grave
Hi,
I'm surprised nobody reported it yet since it basically makes the
package useless as far as I see, but the current node resolve doesn't
find modules installed in Debian directories : while working on another
package, I was surprised that nothing was found. When investigating
using strace, I saw that resolve.sync was always adding "node_modules"
to the paths it tried, so of course it didn't find anything.
I got things to work by editing node-modules-paths.js from:
module.exports = function nodeModulesPaths(start, opts) {
var modules = opts && opts.moduleDirectory
? [].concat(opts.moduleDirectory)
: ['node_modules'];
to:
module.exports = function nodeModulesPaths(start, opts) {
var modules = opts && opts.moduleDirectory
? [].concat(opts.moduleDirectory)
: ['node_modules', ''];
ie: I added '' to the list of things to add when generating paths to check.
The following two lines fail with the unpatched node-resolve, and work
with the patched one:
resolve=require('resolve')
resolve.sync('resolve/lib/core.js', {basedir: '/usr/lib/nodejs'})
(it should be added in debian/tests/)
I'm part of the Debian Javascript maintainers team so I can add the
necessary patch (with the right header) and test [and probably push
higher upstream version, std-ver and dh] to the git repository to help
if you want -- but I'm no DD so can't upload myself.
Cheers,
Snark on #debian-js
