Ability to handle cases where require is called with a non-literal parameter about detective HOT 2 CLOSED

I think this issue also affects cases where modules are required using a path.join style. For all of our require statements, we use this form:

require(path.join(__dirname, '..', 'config', 'config.js'))

I tested removing path.join, so that it's simply

require('../config/config.js')

And that works.

detective.find returns an expressions property that you can use for this. Eg with static-eval to statically evaluate expression arguments:

var r = require('detective').find(src)
var strings = r.strings.concat(
  r.expressions.map(function (expr) {
    var ast = require('acorn').parseExpressionAt(expr, 0)
    return require('static-eval')(ast, {})
  })
).filter(function (id) { return id !== undefined }) // filter things that are not statically eval-able
