node.js require from parent folder : <p>I have the following structure:</p>

<pre><code>-- node_modules
-- websites
---- common
------- config.js
---- testing
------- test.js
</code></pre>

<p>Inside config I have some variables set, which are being exported using module.export.</p>

<p>I am trying to retrieve those variables when running <code>node test.js</code> from config.js using the following codes:</p>

<pre><code>var configData = require('./common/config.js')
var configData = require('../common/config.js')
</code></pre>

<p>None of them work. What can I do to retrieve the data from the other folder?</p>
