Calling deps() fails to apply transforms

[jwalton]

fs = require 'fs'
browserify = require 'browserify'
b = browserify({extensions: ['.coffee']})
b.add './assets/browserify/reporting/reporting.coffee'
b.transform require 'coffeeify'

deps = fs.createWriteStream './reporting.js.deps'
b.deps({}).pipe deps

This will fail with:

Error: Parsing file /Users/jwalton/benbria/loop/assets/browserify/reporting/reporting.coffee: Line 1: Unexpected token ILLEGAL
  at parseDeps (/Users/jwalton/benbria/loop/node_modules/browserify/node_modules/module-deps/index.js:242:45)

  at Object.oncomplete (fs.js:297:15)

At a glance, it looks like module-deps is failing to run any transforms. Looking with a debugger, I see that here, transf.length is 0, as is trx.length, so when we get to parseDeps(), the src is still coffee-script.

It sounds like this has been broken for a while.

It looks like the problem is that deps() is not picking up the transforms from the b.transform() calls. Changing the above example to:

fs = require 'fs'
browserify = require 'browserify'
b = browserify({extensions: ['.coffee']})
b.add './assets/browserify/reporting/reporting.coffee'
coffeeify = require 'coffeeify'
b.transform coffeeify

deps = fs.createWriteStream './reporting.js.deps'
b.deps({transform: [coffeeify]}).pipe deps

seems to work (although it writes "[object Object][object Object]..." to the stream.)

although it writes "[object Object][object Object]..." to the stream

It's an objectMode stream, and the WriteStream is just using .toString.

Yeah, exactly. :)
