Attempting to import from src/node_modules directory doesn't work

[danimbrogno]

I'm finding that I cannot import packages that have been installed in src/node_modules, I get 'module not found' errors. Installing these packages into the top level node_modules directory fixes the issue, but I think we should be able to have our non testing related packages only installed in the src/node_modules folder.

I'm not sure why webpack isn't finding this node_modules directory, as node should scan the tree for all available install locations right?

My workaround was to change the webpackConfig and explicitly list the node_modules directory in src as a root.

var webpackConfig = {
resolve: {
root: [
path.join(wallaby.projectCacheDir, 'src'),
path.join(wallaby.localProjectDir, 'src','node_modules')
],
extensions: ['', '.js', '.jsx', '.json']
},
module: {
loaders: [
// JavaScript is handled by the Wallaby Babel compiler
{ test: /.json$/, loader: 'json-loader' }
]
}
};

Any ideas on if this is the correct approach here? If so should we make this change?
