Local scripts not being found by require.

[CannibalKush]

Hi guys. When I try to load a script on my local filesystem as described by this tutorial: https://jsreport.net/blog/using-local-scripts-and-other-resources

I use the code as follows:

var customerSchema = require('/jsreport/models/customer.js');

This, of course, doesn't work and gives me the output:

Error while executing user script. Unable to find module /jsreport/models/customer.js
Searched paths: 
/jsreport/models/customer.js
/jsreport/models/customer.js
/app/jsreport/models/customer.js
/app/jsreport/models/customer.js
/app/jsreport/models/customer.js

When I try to open the file using this code, though:

var data = fs.readFileSync(path.join(__appDirectory, '../jsreport/models/customer.js'));

Then the file is read correctly, although it's read as a text file and thus not executable (so not useful)

How can I load js from the local file system correctly?

Want to add my config.js being loaded on startup does include both localFileAccess and allowModules: "*"

{
  "allowLocalFileAccess": true,
  "extensions": {
    "tasks": {
      "allowedModules": "*"
    },
    "scripts": {
      "allowedModules": "*"
    },
    "fs-store": {
      "dataDirectory": "data",
      "syncModifications": true
    }
  },
  "store": {
    "provider": "fs"
  },
  "logger": {
      "console": { "transport": "console", "level": "debug" },
      "file": { "transport": "file", "level": "info", "filename": "logs/log.txt" },
      "error": { "transport": "file", "level": "error", "filename": "logs/error.txt" }
  },
  "tasks": {
    "allowedModules": "*"
  }
}

hi! i just tried this in my local and it works for me:

i noticed that you have wrong config, here are some errors you have in it:

• the config is allowLocalFilesAccess, not allowLocalFileAccess
• in jsreport 2 there is no tasks config, that was renamed to templatingEngines, also this config only works at the top level of the json, using it inside the extensions does not work

Suppose if want to call a function inside customer.js file.ie,

customer.js

module.export = {
a: () => {
console.log('a is calling');
},

b: () => {
console.log('b is calling');
}

}

script.js

const customerSchema = require('/jsreport/models/customer.js');

function beforeRender (req,res) {
console.log("Calling function a ", customerSchema.a);
console.log("Calling function b ", customerSchema.b);
}

But when i call function a,b inside beforerender function i am getting value as undefined.Can you please suggest any solution?
