Cannot load node_modules if %TEMP% is on a RAM disk

[linquize]

My %TEMP% is on a ram disk Z:\Temp

• nwjs: 0.15.4 win64 (normal and sdk)
• Win 7 x64

I pack my app with nw-builder so that the app is appended to the end of nw.exe
My app has a node_modules directory with a library minimist

When I call require('minimist'), it throws exception

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, realpath 'Z:\Temp\nw3264_28016\node_modules\minimist\index.js'

If you check that path, the js file actually exists.

If I set %TEMP% and %TMP% to a real hard disk, such as C:\Temp, the packed nw.exe loads the library minimist successfully.

Maybe this is connected with this bug (see the end of the conversation).

Looks like @vsemozhetbyt is right. It seems that this is associated with node's implementation of fs.realpath. Can you try requiring the same module from node.js. Please use the same version as that of nw0.15.4

Yes, node 6.2.2 cannot load any file on RAM disk, but node 4.4.7 can

close since it's an upstream bug.
