Webpack compilation, local Module not found: Error: Can't resolve - nativescript

Question

I modified a plugin and added it in my project's file system. So in my package.json I have : "some-module": "file:modules/some-module".
It works fine on my machine (Windows), but not on our build server (Linux CentOS), which fails during webpack compilation with error : Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'some-module'.
The build server does clean the workspace before build, and after the failed build the plugin does exist in 'node_modules' folder of the workspace.
What could cause this error if the plugin does exists ?
EDIT : I tried on another linux machine (CentOS) and build failed for same error.
EDIT2 : I changed the local file: reference in my package.json file to a .tar.gz git URL. The error is now :
ERROR in ../node_modules/nativescript-pdfview-ng/pdfview-ng.ts
Module build failed (from ../node_modules/#ngtools/webpack/src/index.js):
Error: /root/myProject/node_modules/nativescript-pdfview-ng/pdfview-ng.ts is missing from the TypeScript compilation. Please make sure it is in your tsconfig via the 'files' or 'include' property.
The missing file seems to be part of a third party library. TS files in published libraries are often a sign of a badly packaged library. Please open an issue in the library repository to alert its author and ask them to package the library using the Angular Package Format ([link][1]).

Answer 1

Are you using NativeScript 5.x?
If so, make sure to prefix the plugin with "nativescript-", since {N} 5.x the module resolution seems to have changed with regards to Webpack'ed build.
