Some directories missing for no obvious reason

[apa512]

Description

I recently switched to nvim-tree from nerdtree and for some reason that I can't figure out some directories are simply missing from the file browser. One such example is node_modules in a JS project that I'm working on.

Is this a bug or am I simply missing something about how nvim-tree is supposed to work?

Neovim version

NVIM v0.8.0
Build type: Release
LuaJIT 2.1.0-beta3

Operating system and version

Linux 5.15.75, Nixos 22.05

nvim-tree version

a0f3e99

Minimal config

lua << EOF
vim.g.loaded_netrw = 1
vim.g.loaded_netrwPlugin = 1

require("nvim-tree").setup()
EOF

Steps to reproduce

cd ~/Code/my_project
nvim
:NvimTreeOpen

Expected behavior

I should see all directories that are not hidden.

Actual behavior

One directory is missing and I can't see anything such as permissions that's setting it apart from other directories.

Is node_modules directory in .gitignore?

Git ignored files are hidden by default, see :help nvim-tree.git.ignore.

They can be toggled via I toggle_git_ignored. See :help nvim-tree-default-mappings.

Yes, thanks. I completely missed that this was a feature.

You can also always show a particular path regardless of any ignores:

:help nvim-tree.filters.exclude
