SSLProfiles = require('./../fixtures/ssl-profiles.json');
Not all environments support json files with the require (specifically nexe).
The usage seems weird to me, I guess it has been in node for a while (since 2011) but I would like to change the line to
SSLProfile = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync('./../fixtures/ssl-profiles.json'));
You may note this is indeed the implementation of require for JSON files:
