Watchify is breaking .require() calls with the expose option

[binarykitchen]

When the bundler is an instance of browserify, then this code works fine:

    var bundler = browserify({
            entries:        ['main.js],
            insertGlobals:  false,
            debug:          !settings.PRODUCTION // for source maps
        })

    bundler.require('/home/xxx/var/local/tmp/client_settings.json', {
        expose: 'client_settings.json'
    })

but when I wrap this with watchify like that:

    var bundler = watchify(browserify({
            entries:        ['main.js'],
            insertGlobals:  false,
            debug:          !settings.PRODUCTION // for source maps
        }), {
            watch: false
        })

    bundler.require('/home/xxx/var/local/tmp/client_settings.json', {
        expose: 'client_settings.json'
    })

then this error is thrown when bundling through a gulp task

TypeError: Cannot set property 'client_settings.json' of undefined

Hi @binarykitchen, not sure if it will help in your situation but you can try to apply the patch I made to solve my problem https://github.com/substack/watchify/issues/72#issuecomment-50747549

[binarykitchen]

thanks @neocoder - I prefer to wait until the patch is in on npm

I see this too!

This seems to be related to #72

[nervo]

Same kind of issue there

I think this is related to https://github.com/substack/watchify/issues/72. I'm going to close this out and follow it there.
