[BUG] require.resolve changed behavior in node@12, is broken #27794
Description
- Version:
v12.1.0 - Platform:
Darwin f01898256a91 18.6.0 Darwin Kernel Version 18.6.0: Thu Apr 25 23:16:27 PDT 2019; root:xnu-4903.261.4~2/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64 - Subsystem:
require.resolve
Description
I use require.resolve(request, { paths }) to find a file to load relative to a different directory, however this stopped working in node@12, where require.resolve throws Error: Cannot find module ....
Expected Behavior
The require.resolve call returns the absolute path to the requested file, according to the submitted path(s).
Actual Behavior
In node@12, an error is raised.
Steps to reproduce:
/// index.js
const path = require('path');
try {
const filePath = require.resolve('./target', {
paths: [path.resolve(__dirname, 'directory')]
});
console.log(`Found: ${filePath}`);
} catch (e) {
console.error('Failed!');
}
/// directory/target.js
console.log('Reached there!');Result
