Research direction

The report is reproduced by FAIL.sh in the linked debowerify-fail project; start by running it and tracing resolution from react-bootstrap/index.js through Accordion.js and utils/joinClasses. Done means the react-bootstrap requires resolve without the shown './joinClasses' module error.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Simple test with react-bootstrap

https://github.com/EvanCarroll/debowerify-fail

$ sh FAIL.sh 
Error: Cannot find module './joinClasses' from '/tmp/fail/public/bower_components/react-bootstrap'
    at /usr/local/lib/node_modules/browserify/node_modules/resolve/lib/async.js:42:25
    at load (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/browserify/node_modules/resolve/lib/async.js:60:43)

react-bootstrap/index.js has a series of requires

Accordion: require('./Accordion')

While the file, ./Acordion.js has itself a series of requires.

var joinClasses = require('./utils/joinClasses');

These don't seem to be resolvable with react-bootstrap.
