Research direction
Reproduce the failure in NativeScript-Drop-Down/demo using the dependency "nativescript-drop-down": "file:../bin/dist" and tns plugin remove tns-core-modules. Start by tracing how tns plugin add/remove handles file-based dependencies. Done means both commands work without the npm ENOENT error.
