Import models from other location

See original GitHub issue

Hi,

I was trying to import a common model directory. The following code works:

// Require keystone
var keystone = require('keystone');
keystone.init({});
keystone.import('models');
console.log(keystone.paths);

But if I change the models location it stops working, for example:

keystone.import('../models');

Error output:

module.js:340
    throw err;
    ^
Error: Cannot find module 'keystone'
  at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:338:15)

Any tips on how I can achieve this?

Thanks!

please read https://github.com/keystonejs/keystone/blob/40563de928892deb9f707a4498439663d154443d/index.js#L162 so

keystone.import('../models');

would load models outside of the current project (doubt that’s what you want).

And for the second question, you’re trying to require keystone from a nonstandard location. Usually you’d do

var keystone = require('keystone')

Which loads from ./node_modules/keystone/. Please share more of your code.
