I am using gulp, browserify and watchify. Here is my 'scripts' task:
gulp.task('scripts', function() {
var b = watchify(browserify(paths.app.root + '/client.js', watchify.args));
b.on('update', bundle);
return bundle();
function bundle() {
return b
.bundle()
.pipe(source('bundle.js'))
.pipe(gulp.dest(paths.build.root + '/scripts'));
}
});
client.js looks like:
require('request');
alert('1');
where request is node module (http client): https://github.com/request/request
When I run this task and execute the code - everything is fine. The problem starts when I change client.js. When I comment alert('1'), watchify start it's work and bundle() runs again. When I reload the page on the browser, I get the following javascript exception:
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'version' of undefined
with the following stack trace:

Any idea what is wrong with browserify / request?
It looks like it is an issue with elliptic, a dependency of browserify. See https://github.com/indutny/elliptic/issues/30
Hopefully this gets fixed up shortly.
Edit: It may actually be an issue with browserify. I would try reverting to 8.1.2 and seeing if that helps.
