[Now specific] Cannot find module '/home/nowuser/.bitpay/config.json'

[ksullivan91]

I followed the instructions while setting up the bitpay client and have no trouble running this in my local environment. However, when deploying to now.sh, I am receiving the error:

`

module.js:557
throw err;
^
Error: Cannot find module '/home/nowuser/.bitpay/config.json'
at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:555:15)
at Function.Module._load (module.js:482:25)
at Module.require (module.js:604:17)
at require (internal/module.js:11:18)
`

I have used the overloading configuration option specified in the documentation but it still tries to load the config.json file. I've created a folder named .bitpay in the root and it still isn't able to find the file.

Typically the deployment is served from '/home/nowuser/src' and bitpay is looking for the .bitpay file one level up at 'home/nowuser/.bitpay'

Any help would be appreciated!

I kind of solved this by cloning the repo, adding it to my project, and implementing this PR

Used https://github.com/ds300/patch-package to patch the repo as follows:

Worked flawlessly.
