Unable to import JSON file in symlinked dependency
Created by: iameli
Description
I've created a reproduction repro here.
You can use create-react-app to import JSON files just fine require("./file.json"). This works just fine if the JSON file is within the create-react-app project's folder.
This behavior doesn't work, however, if the file being imported is a symlinked dependency in node_modules. Webpack (or whatever) complains Module not found: 'json'.
I first ran into the problem with a dependency that had been symlinked by Lerna.
The repro I submitted automatically creates a symlinked dependency in a postinstall script.
Expected behavior
I should import the JSON file.
Actual behavior
Failed to compile.
Error in ../demo-dependency/index.js
