Unable to load external module that has been transpiled from Typescript and that is required from my app #52

Open lucaoliano opened 8 years ago

lucaoliano commented 8 years ago

I have an external npm common module, shared from all my apps, that is wirtten in Typescript. Supposing that this module is called common_module, when I build it, the transpiler for each typescript import generates a require('file_name'). When karma-commonjs tries to resolve these require, it searches for something like .../node_modules/file_name, but the module is located at .../node_modules/common_module.

This sounds like an issue with Typescript. How should the resolver for require know that 'filename' is not what it ahould load

In the pull request https://github.com/karma-runner/karma-commonjs/pull/53, I've proposed a solution to solve it.

My proposal is configure into Karma configuration, which module resolves the file required.
