require should not enforce prefix to load from file about nashorn-commonjs-modules HOT 2 CLOSED

As far as I know the algorithm is supposed to mimic Node's behavior, as described here: https://nodejs.org/api/modules.html

You can see that it explicitly looks for a prefix before loading anything from the filesystem. Non-prefixed modules are always loaded from the node_modules folder.

This being said, maybe there is something incorrect in the code. Can you provide a sample that works in Node and breaks with this library?

If you've just followed the spec then i guess thats right approach.

I had my modules stored under a different path (not node_modules), but as mentioned, this meant modules failed to load dependencies as they are typically referenced without a path prefix.

I've now restructured things to use a node_modules directory instead which resolves the issue.

Thanks for your help :)
