npm link packages in node_modules folder are not zipped using glob

[ChemaMX]

if I use glob:
zipArchive.glob('/', {
cwd: srcFolder,
ignore: ['./.json', './*.njsproj', 'obj/', 'bin/', 'tests/', 'publish.js'],
expand: true
}, {})

all my npm link modules are not copied. It used to work fine when using .bulk before it was deprecated.

Is it just zipping up symbolic links into your archive instead? That's the behavior I'm seeing as well. I believe that is by design now?

I actually found how to solve this. by adding follow: true to the glob, it will go ahead and zip the linked packages (folders). e.g.

zipArchive.glob('**/*', 
            {
                cwd: source,
                ignore: ignore,
                nodir: true,
                dot: true,
                follow: true
            }
        )

@ChemaMX glad you found that, i was wondering if that would help here but hadn't had time to test it yet

I just want to add a piece of extra info in case anyone else lands here; the nodir: true is important. Without it, it will follow the symlinks, but before it does that it will create a symlink entry in the zip file and will essentially fail to copy the sub files in the symlink dir.
