"Error: Cannot find module" output should include filename

[jmm]

When using browserify and there's a problem with the path to a module, I get error output like:

Error: Cannot find module 'module' from '/dir/subdir'

There may be any number of files in subdir that were trying to require the module. It would be really helpful for the error output to include the filename that contained the require() call instead of just the path to the dir it resides in.

This can be fixed if browser-resolve will pass through the original options it's called with. See browserify/browser-resolve/pull/52. If you'd like to see this fixed please voice your support there.

@defunctzombie merged browserify/browser-resolve/pull/52 to pass through the options, so I'll be working on a PR here for this.

We would also love to see this fixed. What is the state of #64. Will it be merged eventually?

This will be taken care of once #64 (comment) is rebased.

#162 is not merged on browsersify

Also 4 years after, this solution steals works fine:
