Browserify with paths to folders in my system

[vinz243]

When I compile markdown-symbols using Broserify (browserify file.js -o bundle.js), I get something like that :

!function(e){if("object"==typeof exports...[function(_dereq_,module,exports){

},{}],2:[function(_dereq_,module,exports){
...
...
[on line 8000] 
    : function (str, start, len) {
        if (start < 0) start = str.length + start;
        return str.substr(start, len);
    }
;

}).call(this,_dereq_("C:\\Users\\Me\\AppData\\Roaming\\npm\\node_modules\\browserify\\node_modules\\insert-module-globals\\node_modules\\process\\browser.js"))
},{"C:\\Users\\Me\\AppData\\Roaming\\npm\\node_modules\\browserify\\node_modules\\insert-module-globals\\node_modules\\process\\browser.js":11}],14:[function(_dereq_,module,exports){
module.exports=_dereq_(3)
},{}],15:[function(_dereq_,module,exports){
module.exports=_dereq_(4)
},{"./support/isBuffer":14,"C:\\Users\\ME\\AppData\\Roaming\\npm\\node_modules\\browserify\\node_modules\\insert-module-globals\\node_modules\\process\\browser.js":11,"inherits":10}],16:[function(_dereq_,module,exports){
var frep = _dereq_('frep');
var file = _dereq_('fs-utils');
var delims = _dereq_('delims');
var _ = _dereq_('lodash');
...

As you can see, there are absolute paths to my files here. Why ? How can I remove them ?

you might want to take a look at https://github.com/substack/intreq

$ npm i -g browserify browser-unpack browser-pack intreq
$ browserify file.js | browser-unpack | intreq | browser-pack > bundle.js

I got this error:

@vinz243 make sure you're not requiring an empty module anywhere in your bundle. I submitted a fix for the problem a short while ago: browserify/browser-unpack#1

[vinz243]

how to know which module is empty ? any argument ? I have updated browser-unpack to 0.1.0 but it didn't solve anything.

[guybrush]

hm actually i dont know if pipes are even a thing in windows-shell?

[thlorenz]

@guybrush they are in powershell, but work entirely different (i.e. on objects instead of strings).

[ghost]

fixed in 3.46.1
