module not found in node js

Question

I'm working on an application with NodeJS. I'm trying to load one js file into the another using require().

My folder structure looks like:

src

- test1

- design

- reports

- components

- foo.js

- test2

- services

- bar.js

I am trying to call foo.js from bar.js using require() method.

When I do require('test1/design/reports/components/foo.js'); and run the app using grunt dev, I'm getting the following error:

Error: module "test1/design/reports/components/foo.js" not found from "(some path) test2.services.bar.js"

Can any one help to solve this?

Thanks.

surely it should be require('../../test1/design/reports/components/foo.js');? — tfogo
