Cant use custom node_modules with --shadow

[bert-w]

My app contains custom node modules which are installed into the lib directory, including:

app/lib/node_modules/qs which is a querystring module from npm, see https://www.npmjs.com/package/qs .

However when building with --shadow, the runtime appears to be looking for another module:

[DEBUG] [iphone, 10.1, undefined] Native module:node_modules/qs
[ERROR] [iphone, 10.1, undefined] Couldn't find module: node_modules/qs for architecture: x86_64
[ERROR] [iphone, 10.1, undefined] TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating '__p.require("node_modules/qs").stringify')

So to reproduce: install this npm package (qs@5.2.0), and call it anywhere in your titanium code using require('node_modules/qs').stringify({foo: 'bar'});.

I can fix it using require('node_modules/qs/lib/index')... (direct reference to the bootstrap file) but I'm quite sure there's an underlying tishadow issue here.

I'm using Ti 6.0.1.GA, Alloy 1.9.5, and npm/qs@5.2.0

Same issue here All the modules on the lib folder are giving me a native module error

I haven't used node_modules in a project before. I generally import a compiled lib directly.
I would need to modify the custom require.
It is on the TODO list.

@dbankier I dont think this is node_modules related, as I dont use node_modules. I think it has to do with the subfolder structure on the lib folder. so I have a folder called lib/something/somethingelse.js, and it says that "something" is not a native module

Do we have news for this task? :-)

I'm trying to include Jasmine as a node module inside my app and I'm having the same problem.
