Unable to load external modules

[helloanoop]

Here is my JS

const { NodeVM } = require('vm2');

const script = `
  const crypto = require('crypto-js');
`
const vm = new NodeVM({
  require: {
    external: true,
    root: ['/Users/anoop/Github/github-rest-api-collection/node_modules/crypto-js']
  }
});

vm.run(script);

Here is the error I am seeing

Node.js v18.13.0

Its important to note that I am running the script from /Users/anoop/bruno/bruno folder while attempting to load the external module from another location /Users/anoop/Github/github-rest-api-collection/node_modules/crypto-js

Is this kind of behaviour not supported ?

Found the fix. Closing the issue.

const { NodeVM } = require('vm2');

const script = `
  const crypto = require('crypto-js');
`
const vm = new NodeVM({
  require: {
    external: true,
    root: ['/Users/anoop/Github/github-rest-api-collection']
  }
});

vm.run(script, '/Users/anoop/Github/github-rest-api-collection/index.js`);

Adding a name even for an embedded script did the job:

const { NodeVM } = require('vm2');

const script = `
  const crypto = require('crypto-js');
`
const vm = new NodeVM({
  require: {
    external: true
  }
});

vm.run(script, 'vm2.js`);
