If you try to register an external module with an NPM module that has a namespace (i.e. @lk/core-taskboard-api), autohost will fail to register it with an error.

This configuration:

"host": {
    "modules": [
        "autohost-logging-collector",
        "autohost-pubsub",
        "@lk/core-taskboard-api"
    ]
}

Results in this error:

Cannot find module '/dev/bunk/autohost-project/@lk/core-taskboard-api'

A simple workaround for this issue to is to use a relative file path instead:

"host": {
    "modules": [
        "autohost-logging-collector",
        "autohost-pubsub",
        "node_modules/@lk/core-taskboard-api"
    ]
}

Saw this today while pairing with @ifandelse. Didn't have time to track it down but think it's likely a race condition/timing related issue. AH should insulate apps from having to worry with this and prevent the error from getting thrown. Putting an issue in so it doesn't get forgotten.

By default, AH provides an API prefix for all resource routes to prevent collision issues. When using an empty API prefix (effectively hosting static resources and API calls at the same base URL), AH should register paths with express to avoid collisions.
