development-mode-live with local app directory

[Dirk Schmid]

Hi,

i'm running in an issue when i want to run the development-mode-live with an local application source directory.

my command is: spectacle -D -a app target/swagger.json

and then i always get this error:

module.js:557
    throw err;
    ^

Error: Cannot find module 'app/lib/resolve-references.js'

I'm having a similar issue when trying to run using a local customized app directory.

spectacle -a template swagger.json

module.js:550
    throw err;
    ^

@dirkschmid @mattosaur same issue here but only if I use relative path.
Try using the full path instead, this works for me:
spectacle -d -a "C:\Users\user\Documents\spectacle\app" swagger.json
