^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

As you might have noticed above, it tries to find dist/<something> in the local autopkgtest directory
instead of global one (/usr/share/)

This happens because you are running the test in the same directory where your source code is and
the "local" package.json is interfering with your "require" command.

Simple solution is to create a temporary dir; or use $AUTOPKGTEST_TMP (latter is best)

I have attached a patch that fixes this, please apply and upload.

Hope that helps.

Had you used this, it'd have passed since it does the change to
temp dir thing by default

I hope you run the autopkgtest in a schroot/container and were able to reproduce it?
