require invoked from pcall can't load a module

[kamchatka-volcano]

Hi, for some reason, loading modules with pcall doesn't work from the Defold kit, although it loads fine when building from the Defold editor. Some libraries use this pattern to select between local and global dependencies by checking the status code of pcall. For instance, I had to patch the penlight library to use it with a Defold project from VSCode with the Defold kit.

Steps to reproduce:

• Create a project from the Desktop game template, and add a Lua module test.lua to the main directory like:

  local M = {}
  function M.test()
  print("Hello world")
  end
  return M

• Try to load it from the main.script:

  local status, test = pcall(require, "main.test")
  assert(test ~= nil)

Is it a limitation of the bob build tool?
