Can't import jquery.ui.position unless aliased

[sgarcialaguna]

I try to import jquery.ui.position for a another file like so:

    module: {
        loaders: [
        {
            test: /index\.js$/,
            loader: 'imports?jquery.ui.position' // This line throws an error
        }
        ]
    },

which gets an error much like the following.

ERROR in ./index.js Module parse failed: S:\Github\webpack_import_loader_bug\node_modules\imports-loader\index.js?jquery.ui.position!S:\Github\webpack_import_loader_bug\index.js Unexpected token (2:10) You may need an appropriate loader to handle this file type.

After much hair-pulling and gnashing of teeth I try to alias jquery.ui.position as jquery_ui_position, which works as expected. Apparently the dots within the module name throw the import loader off.

Am I supposed to escape the dots in some fashion? The documentation doesn't say.

I have set up a tiny example project which demonstrates the issue at https://github.com/sgarcialaguna/import-loader-bug

Should be fixed with imports-loader@0.7.0.
