Using webpack aliases in AVA tests

I need to include the aliases from webpack into AVA when it runs.
I used webpack's resolve.alias to access all the files under src folder:
webpack.config.js
resolve: {
alias: {
'#': path.resolve(__dirname, 'src/'),
},
},
and then that # special prefix for my own modules like this:
my-module.js
import main from '#/view/main'
This is my AVA configuration:
package.json
"scripts": {
"test-unit": "ava test/unit"
},
"ava": {
"require": ["esm"]
},
Is possible to add something to package.json like in this mocha solution?

Thank you so much for your time and help!

If I understood you well you can do it with link-module-alias npm package.
Add this to your package.json:
"scripts": {
"postinstall": "link-module-alias",
"preinstall": "command -v link-module-alias && link-module-alias clean || true"
"test": "ava"
},
"_moduleAliases": {
"#": "src"
}
npm i && npm test
If you need further details you can download a working example here.

Cannot find modules that have been installed locally by NPM

I am working on a tool and I have installed some modules locally through NPM, and I get errors when I try to require these modules through NodeJS. I am working in Windows 10, I have already tried setting up NODE_PATH etc.
Below is the structure of my files:
->project
---->node_modules
---->src
-------->css
-------->js
----------->index.js
---->package.json
---->index.html
I populate the index.html by using index.js etc.
Below is the code of my package.json:
{
"name": "bip39",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "A tool for converting BIP39 mnemonic phrases to addresses and private keys.",
"directories": {
"test": "tests"
},
"dependencies": {
"bip39": "^2.6.0",
"bigi": "^1.4.2",
"create-hmac": "^1.1.7",
"nem-sdk": "^1.6.7"
},
"devDependencies": {},
"scripts": {
"test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
},
"repository": {
"type": "git",
"url": "git+https://github.com/PavlosTze/bip39.git"
},
"author": "",
"license": "ISC",
"bugs": {
"url": "https://github.com/PavlosTze/bip39/issues"
},
"homepage": "https://github.com/PavlosTze/bip39#readme"
}
Below is my require() code:
var createHmac = require("create-hmac");
var BigInteger = require("bigi");
const bip39 = require("bip39");
const nem = require("nem-sdk").default;
I have done the following steps on NPM:
1) npm init
2) npm install bip39
3) npm install nem-sdk
4) npm install bigi
5) npm install create-hmac
All these files are inside the node_modules, but still, whenever I run the code in the browser I get an 'Error: Cannot find module "bip39"', etc. for all modules.
EDIT: On another directory that I have cloned the same tool, before I merged it with another one, I get no error and everything works correctly, including the require(). etc. Do you need any of those files as well?
Can someone help me please?

try this :
rm -rf node_modules
npm install

Travis CI NodeJs build runs locally but gets a permission denied on Travis CI

So when I run locally the mocha test inside my repo It works just fine but when I push a commit and it runs on travis CI I keep getting this error:
sh: 1: mocha: Permission denied
npm ERR! Test failed. See above for more details.

});
});
});

Turn on the execute permission on node_modules/.bin: https://github.com/travis-ci/travis-ci/issues/6828#issuecomment-258581083
Or, remove node_modules from your Git repository, and let Travis install it with npm install. (See https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/languages/javascript-with-nodejs#Travis-CI-uses-npm.)

Do not install mocha to Travis-CI manually. It's here by default.
Just remove your before_script's statements from the .travis.yml file.

Gruntfile.js tasks... ERROR

Trying to get Grunt to concat my CSS files into one called production.css
Here is the output from the command prompt

I'm using the grunt-contrib-concat to concat my files. The version is "^0.5.0"

You have for some reason gotten some extra text into your file. It should start with module.exports and you also have something extra in the end.
I think what you did was basically to paste your grunt code into a code snippet that looks like package.json:
{
"name": "ajaxProject",
"version": "0.1.0",
"devDependencies": {
"grunt": "~0.4.1",
"grunt-contrib-concat": "^0.5.0"
}
}
Try this:
module.exports = function(grunt) {
// 1. All configuration goes here
grunt.initConfig({
pkg: grunt.file.readJSON('package.json'),
concat: {
dist: {
src: [
'css/*.css', // All JS in the libs folder
],
dest: 'css/production.css',
}
}
});
// 3. Where we tell Grunt we plan to use this plug-in.
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-concat');
// 4. Where we tell Grunt what to do when we type "grunt" into the terminal.
grunt.registerTask('default', ['concat']);
}

Setting jshint and travis-ci for javascript project

I'm trying to setup Travis CI on one JavaScript project hosted on GitHub but I'm getting error like
Loading "jshint.js" tasks...ERROR
>> Error: Cannot find module 'jshint/src/cli/cli'
Those are my files:
Gruntfile.js
module.exports = function(grunt) {
grunt.initConfig({
pkg: grunt.file.readJSON('package.json'),
jshint: {
myFiles: ['cyrlatconverter-v0.5.4.js']
}
});
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-jshint');
};
.travis.yml
language: node_js
node_js:
- 0.10
package.json
{
"name": "node-travis",
"version": "0.1.0",
"devDependencies": {
"grunt": "0.4.1",
"grunt-cli": "0.1.9",
"grunt-contrib-jshint": "0.6.0"
},
"scripts": {
"test": "grunt --verbose"
}
}

Upgrading versions as discussed in github.com/gruntjs/grunt-contrib-jshint/issues/92 solved the problem.
Also as #Dexa pointed out, for him - removal of scripts part of the package.json worked and adding following to the Gruntfile.js :
grunt.registerTask('default', ['jshint']);
For clarification, ^ above registers default grunt task to run jshint when grunt is wrote to command line.
