Descriptions

When opening a new instance window, the module finding path used by require is changed. This happens when the opener (parent) window is in a sub-directory. For example, parent window is in public/index.html, and opened (child) window is also in that folder public/new-instance.html. Requiring same module test.js in the root directory is require('../test') for parent window, and require('./test') for child window.
This behavior is different from nw 0.8.x, only happens when new-instance attribute is set to true.
Version Effected: 0.10.1

Steps to Reproduce

1. Point "main" to a sub-directory file in package.json, for example, public/index.html
2. Open a new instance window within the same folder, for example, public/new-instance.html
3. Require a module in parent directory, for example, require('../test')

Expected and Got

• Expected: successfully required the module
• Got: module not found
