lighthouse dependency is not working properly in aio-cli

[anagarwa]

Describe the bug
adding a dependency of lighthouse in aio-cli's generic action does not work properly. Action will build without error but it will give a error in response when invoked

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. created a generic action with command

aio app init

2. added a line in index.js of action
   const lighthouse = require('lighthouse')
3. run command (please note that i have not included the dependency in package neither i have run npm install lighthouse so far)

aio app run --local

4. action was built and run successfully without error which should not be the case it should throw error of package missing, below is the print on console

5. but when I tried to run action in web browser, it shows below error

{
  "code": "Y2hU3sbPbBX3eMRuitH3u5JV1WQwM0fs",
  "error": "There was an error processing your request."
}

6. Since dependency was not included so far, I run below command

npm install lighthouse
after this lighthouse dependency was added in package.json, and same was available in node_modules.

7. tried to built and run the action again with

aio app run --local

8. again no error displayed , it was successfull below is the output of console

9. Tried to invoke the action from web browser , below error message was displayed
   {
   "code": "QFLddhNhh8cOZVo9LgZ1sqkSyUjOSekU",
   "error": "There was an error processing your request."
   }

Expected behavior

1. ) If lighthouse dependency was not included in package.json , during building the action a proper error was should be throws like in case of other packages.
   2.) after including the dependency of lighthouse, action should work properly.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: MacOS 10.13.6

please note that, in case if I write a action with wskdeploy , I was able to successfully invoke the action with lighthouse

Thanks for reporting the bug @anagarwa .
I think it related to #101 . We're working on exposing the webpack configuration for developers who would need to adapt it to their dependencies.
