Why Browserify is adding dots to my module path?

I have a build.js



require('./moment');
require('./dashboard.js');
require('./custom-summernote-bs4.js');
require('./summernote-es-ES.js');
const Noty = require('noty');

// [...] regular code


And using: browserify public/dashboard/javascript/build.js -o BUNDLE.js



I get this error:



Error: Cannot find module '../moment' from '/out/of/project/public/dashboard/javascript'
at /usr/local/lib/node_modules/browserify/node_modules/browser-resolve/node_modules/resolve/lib/async.js:55:21
at load (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/browserify/node_modules/browser-resolve/node_modules/resolve/lib/async.js:69:43)
at onex (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/browserify/node_modules/browser-resolve/node_modules/resolve/lib/async.js:92:31)
at /usr/local/lib/node_modules/browserify/node_modules/browser-resolve/node_modules/resolve/lib/async.js:22:47
at FSReqWrap.oncomplete (fs.js:152:21)


No matter where I put the moment file, or the build.js; no matter if I use 'moment' or 'moment.js'; or moving down the require lines...



For some reason, Browserify (or a dependency) adds those '..' in front of moment.js. So of course it doesn't work because it's not in ../.
If I remove that moment require, the rest bundles fine.



EDIT: using require('moment') like a regular npm module instead (which I have installed for backend use) works fine. I'd rather use the local ./moment.js since it has some modifications.



Why does it happen and how can I fix it?
