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.
