require not working in HTML files after adding node-main file

[michel.beau...@lri.fr]

I don't know if this is a bug or a feature:

- I had an app without a node-main file. The html files used require without problem, e.g. require('jade') or require('nano').

- I added a node-main file to this app, and now it says "Cannot find module 'jade'" or "'nano'".

I found a way around by requiring the module in the node-main file and passing it to the HTML files through global:

    node-main:

        global.jade = require('jade');

    index.html:

        var jade = global.jade; // require('jade') does not work when there is a node-main is package.json

Why is it that adding a node-main file changes the way require works in the HTML file?

I would also rather require the module where I need them, rather than having to load them all in the node-main file.

Thanks,

michel

PS: issue is the same with node 0.3.7 and 0.4.0

It should be a bug. I cannot reproduce it here. Could you please open an
issue and post the source code there?

Thanks in advance.
