Cannot find module when installed globally #3865
Description
Some modules cannot be found when installed globally.
Say I have:
C:\Users\me\AppData\Roaming\npm
├── casperjs@1.1.0-beta3
├── gulp@3.9.0
├── jspm@0.16.14
├── jspm-p4@0.2.3
├── karma@0.13.15
├── npm@3.4.0
├── npm-check-updates@2.4.2
├── phantomjs@1.9.18
└── tsd@0.6.5
When I am at a folder that does not have local modules (e.g. C:\Users\me):
C:\Users\me> node
> require('jspm')
-> jspm;
> require('karma');
-> karma;
> require('jspm-p4');
-> Cannot find module (Error)
> require('npm-check-updates')
-> Cannot find module (Error)
Adding NODE_PATH explicitly pointing to C:\Users\me\AppData\Roaming\npm\npm_modules solves the problem, but that would consider as a workaround instead of a solution as some modules are working while others not.
Referencing original issue:
jspm/jspm#1284
jspm-p4 is a module that I created and you can find it here
