[RESOLVED] Not recognizing/including /node_modules

[rollschild]

Problem description

LunarVim doesn't seem to recognize or include the folder /node_modules in my projects.

Initially I thought it was an nvim-tree issue, since I was not able to see the /node_modules folder in the nvim-tree file explorer, no matter how I toggle between "show git ignored files"/"hide git ignored files". This is a screenshot of my nvim-tree explorer, showing all ignored files:

As you can see, /build which is in .gitignore is correctly being displayed, but not /node_modules.

Here is my .gitignore:

/node_modules
/.pnp
.pnp.js

# testing
/coverage

# production
/build

# misc
.DS_Store
.env.local
.env.development.local
.env.test.local
.env.production.local

npm-debug.log*
yarn-debug.log*
yarn-error.log*

Here is the output of $ ls -al:

Then I noticed that when doing telescope searching, using <leader>-f, the /node_modules folder is not included either.

So I'm a little confused on who's responsible for this behavior, LunarVim itself, telescope, or nvim-tree? And how do I fix it? I'm sure there is something like a one-line config that can fix this but I'm not sure where to look. Thanks!

The node module folder is filtered out by default. lvim.builtin.nvimtree.setup.filters.custom = { "node_modules", "\\.cache"}

Add lvim.builtin.nvimtree.setup.filters.custom = { } to your config to see everything.

@rebuilt This is it. Thanks a lot!

also you can press U to toggle this custom filter

To anyone stumbling upon this and facing the same issue I was, maybe setting nvimtree.filters.custom = { } might not work as you might need some filters of your own, you can use nvimtree.filters.exclude = { "node_modules" } to get the folder to appear again and still be able to add filters
