extensions using npm package with dependency on `http` leads to crash about podman-desktop

[benoitf]

note that it works for simple extensions but not in case of development mode for extensions using multiple workspaces

for example ai-lab has node_modules in the root folder while the extension is in packages/backend folder.

so at some point we try to load /my/folder/node_modules/request/index.js and try to see if it's matching an extension but as the packages/backend is in a subfolder it doesn't work then it throw an error

@axel7083 Do you run extension using yarn watch --extension-folder /path/to/extension command?

[dgolovin]

@benoitf Extension is needed only when override is a function. What function does is returning 'ext.api' attribute. In this case ext acts like a cache. If there is no extension it should just cache module for parent.path.

@axel7083 What is git repo for the extension that has this problem?
