Watchify execution fails when I install Browserify first

jgoux commented 10 years ago

Hello, I have a weird behaviour when I want to execute watchify. If I install watchify first, and then browserify, I have no error. The error happens only when I install browserify first. This is problematic because I have those two modules in my project depencendies, so when I type 'npm install', browserify is always installed before watchify.

Here is the complete error :

module.js:340                                          
    throw err;                                             
    ^

I made it "works" by adding the Browserify install command inside the postinstall key of my package.json.

"scripts": {
    "postinstall": "npm install browserify"
  }
