Here's a trace when attempting to run the config:

My devDependencies that correspond with the used config:

  },

My script used with mocha-webpack and webpack file for testing:

// This invokes the test. The test_helper.js file just contains initializations for chai and chai-as-promised
 "test": "mocha-webpack --webpack-config webpack.config.test.js --require ./test/test_helper.js ./test/index.spec.js"

// webpack.config.test.js:
// NOTE: The base config gets pretty much completely overwritten here,
// so not much to show in terms of that:

let config   = require("./webpack.config"),
    path     = require("path"),
    APP_DIR  = path.resolve(__dirname, "src"),
    TEST_DIR = path.resolve(__dirname, "test");

config.target = "electron-main";

config.entry = [
  `${TEST_DIR}/index.spec.js` 
];

config.node = {
  __dirname: true
};

config.module = {
  rules: [
    {
      test:    /\.js$/,
      loader:  "babel-loader",
      include: TEST_DIR
    }, {
      test:    /\.ts$/,
      loader: "awesome-typescript-loader",
      include: TEST_DIR
    }
  ]
};

module.exports = config;

I checked for said missing module, but the given file is indeed located in the said location. Your library seems really nice and interesting! 👍 Hope I can get this to work!

Yohooo? 👋

The same issue happens also when using plain mocha and webpack together. Checked other issues with similar descriptions, but no avail.
