Invalid path when searching for module

[jirrick]

Getting started with mongoose, got stuck on this error while trying to find 'bson-ext' module.

In method find_package_json_with_name the location = currentModule.filename; variable is set to /node_modules/require_optional/index.js.
This casues error in method find_package_json where checking (location + '/package.json') results in invalid path /node_modules/require_optional/index.js/package.json

Using Node 8.4.0

I start having this issue today. Any idea when this is going to be fixed. I just check and the change is not in master branch yet: https://github.com/christkv/require_optional/blob/master/index.js

Guys: I just fix the issue renaming the app folder. Not sure if this is related to VS Code or Node. Anyone has the same outcomes?

@juancarlosgarcia-arg I'm late to the party but there's a PR pending since last year. I am not sure if the original dev pays attention to this package anymore.

For late comers from Google: you can find the fix here I'd suggest to fork the module and add to the package.json your git version with the fix instead.
