Executable does not work when not installed globally #85

Closed tmpfs closed 8 years ago

tmpfs commented 10 years ago

Running this node_modules/.bin/couchapp, generates:

module.js:340
    throw err;
          ^
Error: Cannot find module './main.js'
    at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:338:15)
    at Function.Module._load (module.js:280:25)

    at Function.Module.runMain (module.js:497:10)

Because npm adds node_modules/.bin to PATH when executing scripts then it will not work in scripts that just want to reference couchapp for a locally installed version.

This is easily fixed with backward compatbility, if you will accept a pull request I will patch it.

Nearly two years to the day, closing as won't fix.
