Nonexistence of node_modules makes wrong paths

[VojtaStanek]

See: manGoweb/mango-cli#98

correct:
www/src/scripts/index

wrong:
/ekola/www/src/scripts/index

project root:
W:/rekola/www

@cactucs Webmake detects root of a package, either by existance of top most node_modules folder or by existence of top most package.json file. If neither do not exist then root of the system will be assumed.

This behavior while may seem controversial, was intended (still it will be optimized with next major version). For now I would suggest to put package.json in root of a project, it will not do harm and it will indicate that we deal with root of node.js project.

The only issue I see is that path resolves to /ekola/www/src/scripts/index and not /rekola/www/src/scripts/index on your side (assuming root is W:/rekola/www). Is it indeed the case, or it's a typo on your side?

Is it posible to pass root path (we have "replacement" file for package.json mango.json)?

No, it follows npm and node.js rules, and that handling is deeply hardcoded.
So at this point the only options are:

• You're fine with path going down to root
• You provide either package.json file or node_modules folder to ensure proper detection of node project root
• Wait for next major version (it'll not compute root not on basis of existence of package.json or node_modules, but on basis of top most bundled module).

Let me leave this issue open until we have other nicer project's root calculation
