Question - how to resolve file paths of modules in node_modules correctly? about babel-loader

[janusch]

Thanks for your reply!
I think i figured it out. The thing is that the node_modules folder is in a sibling dir of the scripts folder, and it does not get detected.
When i added:

resolve: {
        root: [
            path.join(__dirname, "..", "gulp", "node_modules"),
            path.join(__dirname, "..", "scripts", "modules"),
        ],
        extensions: ['', '.js', '.json'] 
    },

to the webpack.config.js it seems to be working now.

Thanks again for putting me on the right path!

Webpack already searches in each node_modules folder. It'll check to see if the current directory the file is in has the module available in node_modules and if not it goes up the a directory and checks there again. It sounds like you just don't have 6to5-runtime installed?

@janusch Ah, no problem! Sorry I couldn't have been more help!

@janusch @sebmck I had the same problem. 'node_modules' folder is in a sibling dir which is far different folder.
I set root path but still did not work. Do you have any idea about this?

I've had the same issue and solved it by simply creating a symlink to the correct directory in the directory my webpack.config.js is.
