Browserify (and Webpack Builds Not Working)

[xjamundx]

There is an npm script for this project that I assume creates a browserify build, but it doesn't seem to work at all:

~/dev/espree (master) $ npm run browserify

> espree@2.0.3 browserify /Users/jamuferguson/dev/espree
> node Makefile.js browserify

Error: Cannot find module './package.json' from '/Users/jamuferguson/dev/espree/tmp'

Similarly webpack fails also complaining about package.json:

~/dev/espree (master) $ webpack espree.js espree.built.js

Looking into this as part of eslint/archive-website#77

[xjamundx]

Solution for webpack problems is just webpack --module-bind json

[nzakas]

Strange, no idea what that error is.

[xjamundx]

Yeah super weird. I'm on node 0.12 if that matters.

[nzakas]

Could just mean I copy-pasted this command from ESLint and never tested it. :)

[xjamundx]

haha. I'll investigate when I get a chance!
