https://github.com/felixge/node-mysql/blob/master/lib/ConnectionConfig.js#L127 ``` SSLProfiles = require('./../fixtures/ssl-profiles.json'); ``` Not all environments support json files with the require (specifically nexe). The usage seems weird to me, I guess it has been in node for a while (since 2011) but I would like to change the line to ``` SSLProfile = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync('./../fixtures/ssl-profiles.json')); ``` You may note this is indeed the implementation of require for JSON files: https://github.com/joyent/node/commit/588d885e81dec667920383ac7246daceeb7f99fd
