I've just read this:

All Together...
https://nodejs.org/docs/latest/api/modules.html#modules_all_together

From this document, if a script in /Uesrs/foo (Y) does require('/b.js'); (X), it should be resolved to /Users/foo/b.js (Y + X). But as long as I tested, it's resolved to an absolute path (/b.js).

I guess either the document or implementation is wrong.

Here is the code.

Apparently it's been wrongly documented ever since it was first added, more than five years ago in commit ff39d41.
