Can't load module from within SublimeREPL with node env #599

I'm using SublimeREPL with node. I tried to load a module from a local file. The require command seems to run successfully but I get "not a function" when trying to run a function from within the module.

The same works fine when running from node command line.

Here is the contents of my primary js file:

console.log("Loading norm.js")
var norm=require("./norm.js")

console.log("Contents of norm module:")
console.log(norm)

// Now try to run a method from norm.js listed in exports
console.log("Output:")
let x=norm.normalizeAPI({ contact: {id:1, custom_field: {cf_country:'Canada'}}}, 'crm', 'contact')
console.log(x)

The module defines some functions and uses module.exports to export 3 of them.

When I run primary file from command line I get expected output:

> node test.js
Loading norm.js
Contents of norm module:
{
  normalizeAPI: [Function: normalizeAPI],
  normalizeBuiltins: [Function: normalizeBuiltins],
  normalizeCustomFields: [Function: normalizeCustomFields]
}
Output:
{ custom_fields: { cf_country: 'Canada' }, id: 1 }

But when I try to run same from within SublimeREPL, I get following output:

Loading norm.js
Contents of norm module:
{ }
Output:
Uncaught TypeError: norm.normalizeAPI is not a function

I use process.chdir to change to directory where files are located. Both the primary file and the module are in same directory.

require() must be finding the file because if I change the path to invalid filename I get error. It seems to me the problem is either no objects are being loaded or the exports are not set.

Inside the module, I have tried to export using module.exports= and exports=.

Is it possible to load a local file module from within SublimeREPL and if so, how?
