ERROR in ./node_modules/buffermaker/test/BufferMaker.js Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'should'

When using webpack to build your library we get the the error: ERROR in ./node_modules/buffermaker/test/BufferMaker.js
Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'should'

This is because 'should' is only a a dev dependency of your project and you have included you tests in the distributed package.

Could you remove your tests from the distributed package or add 'should' to you dependencies?

Thanks Harry

I just ran into this issue as well.

We got this issue while using "kafka-node" which uses "buffermaker" as a dependency. We resolved it by adding "should" library in our package.json.

[slinkardbrandon]

Yeah, I also got it by using kafka-node. I don't want to add should to the package.json as it should be a dev dependency.

When can we expect the fix?

I opened a PR to resolve this issue 3 months ago.

See the referenced issue above (or this link): #10

but it’s been ignored

It was just merged. In the above PR @cainus also mentioned that they'd be flagging this repo as unmaintained.
