Why doesn't Npm.require work in server test code ?

[welelay]

I'm still trying to do a simple http.get in my test.

Here I try to make the server do the work:

    it("....", function() {
        return client
            .execute(function() {
                return computedEnpoint();
            }).then(function(url) {

                return server.execute(function() {
                    try {
                        console.log("Meteor is accessible:", Meteor.isServer);
                        // either of them fail
                        // var http = Npm.require("http");
                        // require("http");
                    } catch (e) {
                        console.error("E:", e);
                    }
                });

            });
     });

It fails to find Npm or require, but has Meteor and all my application's module :

Meteor is accessible: true
E: [ReferenceError: Npm is not defined]
E: [ReferenceError: require is not defined]

Is there a way to access base modules (not even npm packages) from server code ?

@welelay Are you using Meteor 1.3?

[welelay]

yes

following https://nodejs.org/api/vm.html#vm_example_running_an_http_server_within_a_vm
there may be a way to access require by adding it to plugins in backdoor.js.
I'll let you know...
