Bundler not tracing index.js when requiring a folder

[fragsalat]

As I think this was by intent... I'm submitting a feature request

• Library Version: 0.7.0

Please tell us about your environment:

• Operating System: Ubuntu 18.04

• Node Version: 10.7.0

• NPM Version: 6.1.0

• Loader RequireJS

• Browser: all

• Language: all

Current behavior: A package like @material-ui/code requires folders which contains a index.js and those are not recognized by the bundler.

/folder1
  file1.js
  /folder2
    index.js

file1.js

const exportOfIndexJs = require('/folder1/folder2');

Expected/desired behavior:

• What is the expected behavior? When requiring a path the bundler should check if there is an index.js file when the required path is a folder.

• What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior? The bundler should / could behave like NodeJS require as there are many libraries out there which uses this way of requiring.

@huochunpeng should this be resolved with auto tracing ?

Yes. It is part of nodejs compatibility I implemented there.

What does this mean? Should I just update all packages and it should work? Will it be fixed with a future release or should it already work and I made something wrong?

[3cp]

It means it will be fixed after aurelia/cli#862 got released.
