Only ignore node_modules at the top of the tree.
Review Request #14146 — Created Sept. 5, 2024 and submitted — Latest diff uploaded
If there's a
node_modules
unintentionally created anywhere but at the
top of the tree, it's possible for this to interfere when loading
modules in Review Board. For example, Vite (used by Storybook) will
consider it a candidate for module lookup, and could find stale modules.To make this problem more obvious, we no longer ignore
node_modules
anywhere but the top of the tree.git status
will then report any
stray copies, helping address the problem.
Installed packages in a subdirectory and ran
git status
. Saw the
stray `node_modules.
