getting a reference to the global require object #1

I tried

val require = scala.scalajs.js.Dynamic.global.require.asInstanceOf[org.scalajs.nodejs.NodeRequire]

which works when I launch my code with run in sbt. But when I launch my code with node from command line, require is not defined.

I've run into the same problems, and I'm not sure why we can't get a reference to require in the traditional way. As a result, I've been using a bootstrap JavaScript launcher, as shown in the integration guidance:
