Not exporting context

[radcapitalist]

Maybe I can help. I think what @hendrul is saying is that if you follow the instructions provided in the readme, it doesn't work. When node.js sees "require.context", it complains "TypeError: require.context is not a function." At least, that is my experience.

I'm at Node.js version 10.15.1. I've tried placing this line in a couple places:

require('require-context/register');

(Does the above line belong in the .js file where you're trying to use require.context() or in a .js file that gets required in before the .js file where require.context() is used?)

Nothing I've tried has caused require.context() to not throw the above TypeError.

I added the second "require" from the readme:

var requireContext = require('require-context');

without seeing how it could help require.context() be found, and it didn't, so I changed the line of code calling require.context() to call requireContext() instead. Which eliminated the TypeError, but what does this solve, because webpack will be looking for require.context()?

Also, when I put this line in my startup file:

require('require-context/register');

I got strange errors like this one from other modules:

path.js:39
    throw new ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE('path', 'string', path);
    ^

TypeError [ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE]: The "path" argument must be of type string. Received type function
    at assertPath (path.js:39:11)
    at Object.isAbsolute (path.js:404:5)

With 6000 downloads a week, somebody is clearly getting value from this module, but for the life of me I can't figure it out.

Thanks,

Eric

I'm not sure what you are asking - can you give me an example of exactly what you are trying to do?

Thanks!
