Description of change

Use path.resolve instead of require.resolve when resolving library file paths. require.resolve seems to behave unexpectedly in certain situations (#8588)

@karimMourra could you confirm that the use of require.resolve was incidental - or did you want that to work with node_modules somehow?

[karimMourra]

@dgirardi the decision was based on the steps for modules:
var modulePath = require.resolve(module, {paths: [MODULE_PATH, LIBRARY_PATH]}); in getModules. I notice that the line is wrapped in a try-catch block, perhaps because of the node-module issues you mention.
I am OK with using path.resolve. Thank you for fixing!
