Maybe you have made a circular require, it's not obvious,check it carefully:

I say circular require,I mean suppose you have three module A,B,C. A require B,B require C,C require A. Yes,this is a circular require,this may cause strange error.

I don't know why somebody downvote my answer, I spent hours to figure out what happened when I get this error.I think this question probably is a circular require situation.
