ied fails when using git repository links instead of npm versions

[havarnov]

• Version: ied version 2.0.5
• Platform: Darwin Havars-MacBook-Pro.local 15.5.0 Darwin Kernel Version 15.5.0: Tue Apr 19 18:36:36 PDT 2016; root:xnu-3248.50.21~8/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64
• Subsystem: N/A

It seems like ied doesn't handle links to repositories. The following package.json file reproduces the bug:

{
  "name": "ied-error",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "",
  "main": "index.js",
  "scripts": {
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
  },
  "author": "",
  "license": "ISC",
  "devDependencies": {
    "grunt-manifest": "https://github.com/gunta/grunt-manifest/tarball/master"
  }
}

Running ied install on that package.json results in the following error:

/Users/havarnov/.nvm/versions/node/v4.4.5/lib/node_modules/ied/node_modules/rxjs/Observer.js:5
    error: function (err) { throw err; },
                            ^

I had the same problem.

This was due to a bug in the resolve step. Instead of using the cwd, the __dirname of ied itself was used instead.

npm install -g ied

should fix it! Sorry for the delay!
