require not defined? #11

Closed jescalan closed 8 years ago

jescalan commented 8 years ago

This seems like something aint right. Maybe it's because I'm running node v5 and it broke something?

It's showing the error [ReferenceError: require is not defined] for _eval on any code that contains require. Urgh.

You need to run it like this, as it is indeed disabled by default: _eval('module.exports = require("events")', true)

Ah thanks! Would help to have this in the docs :+1:

I'm trying this, but getting this error:

> const _eval = require('eval')
undefined
> _eval("import { _eval } from 'eval'", true)
