bundling locally defined module

I'm trying to add npm:[email protected] to my project. This package is a node package, but provides an optional browser implementation. I've seen the approach described in aurelia/animator-velocity#13 and am trying to follow that to attempt to create a local module that uses the browser implementation of uuid.

Problem is the bundler doesn't seem to like the dependency path in aurelia.json:

{
  "name": "uuid-shim",
  "path": "../scripts/uuid-shim"
}

I get the following exception:

Where am I going wrong here?

That is because the CLI does not support bundling files outside of of the node modules folder yet. #567 is similar. A PR that adds this support has been made
