option for renderer no-op

[yomed]

For custom dynamic tags, I have a function using the try-require module that works as follows:

function loadRenderer(path) {
    var renderer = rendererCache[path];
    if (!renderer) {
        renderer = rendererCache[path] = tryRequire(path) || 'not-found';
    }
    return renderer;
}

I then use this to determine whether to require a renderer or a template:

    if (!isWidget && !widgetId) {
        module.type = 'renderer';
        module.renderer = loadRenderer(path.join(modulePath, 'renderer.js'));
        if (module.renderer === 'not-found') {
            module.template = loadRenderer(path.join(modulePath, 'template.marko'));
            module.type = 'template';
        }
    }

This works fine normally, but in functional tests through karma, it looks like the runtime is attempting to resolve not-found to a module. This results in the following error:

Cannot find module "not-found" from "/$/marko/runtime"
    require@.../.test/static/node_modules/lasso/node_modules/raptor-modules/client/lib/raptor-modules-client.js:568:52
    instanceRequire@.../.test/static/node_modules/lasso/node_modules/raptor-modules/client/lib/raptor-modules-client.js:113:75
    load@.../.test/static/node_modules/marko/runtime/loader_browser.js:21:19

    l@.../.test/static/node_modules/marko/runtime/helpers.js:197:36

I tried setting renderer to a handful of other types based on the relevant marko code, but ran into different issues each time. Do you know how I could effectively make this a no-op? Or if there is a better way to achieve the same thing?

I realize I am slow to reply to this, but it's a little hard to say with the issue is. From what I can tell, maybe both the renderer.js and template.marko are not being found? I think I might need to take a closer a look at your code when you get a chance.

I think you're right - and I think it's because of marko-js-archive/marko-widgets#130
Looks like I might need to artificially require everything that goes through dynamic-tag

@yomed I'm closing this, re-open it if it still needs to be addressed
