Aliasing node module with require target seems broken

[danielkcz]

Or am I doing something wrong? Simple example, eg. I would like to alias debug/browser.js file so I can call require('dbg').

browserify -r 'debug/browser.js:dbg' -e index.js

The file index.js has only single line with require('dbg'). After running this, you can check out the result there and as you can see at the top, it didn't aliased this thing properly. Although correct file is included in the bundle...

{1:[function(require,module,exports){
    require('dbg')
},{"dbg":undefined}]}

I tried running the command with the --deps argument. Here is the result and everything looks great in there, so it might be some issue in browser-pack?

I am running browserify 5.9.1

Well, I have updated browserify to 6.0.2 and it's broken even more now...

$ browserify -r 'debug/browser.js:dbg' -e index.js -o out.js

events.js:72
        throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
              ^
Error: Cannot find module 'dbg' from 'c:\workspace\test' 
    at c:\Users\Fredy\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\browserify\node_modules\resolve\lib\async.js:50:17
    at process (c:\Users\Fredy\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\browserify\node_modules\resolve\lib\async.s:119:43)

Edit: I've just noticed that debug module uses browser field in package.json, so this should be working, but produces same error as above...

$ browserify -r 'debug:dbg' -e index.js -o out.js

This might be a duplicate of #850. I'm still on browserify 4.x because of this issue.
