Mount folder from node_modules/.cache

[bluebrown]

Hi I am trying to utilize the .cache folder to deposit some files during build steps. I want to pick the up with mount afterwards but the content is not mounted. When I change the directory to outside the node_modules, it works.

Is this intended?

snowpack v2.13.3

snowpack.config.json

{
  "install": [
    "alpinejs"
  ],
  "mount": {
    "node_modules/.cache/11ty": "/",
    "src/assets": "/static"
  },
  "plugins": [
    [
      "@snowpack/plugin-build-script",
      {
        "cmd": "postcss",
        "input": [
          ".css"
        ],
        "output": [
          ".css"
        ]
      }
    ],
    [
      "@snowpack/plugin-run-script",
      { "cmd": "eleventy", "watch": "$1 --watch" }
    ]
  ]
}

.eleventy.js

module.exports = function (eleventyConfig) {
  eleventyConfig.setTemplateFormats([
    'html',
    'njk',
    'md',
  ]);

  return {
    dir: {
      input: 'src/content',
      includes: "../templates/includes",
      layouts: "../templates/layouts",
      data: "../data",
      output: 'node_modules/.cache/11ty',
    },
  };
};

This hasn't been tried yet. Do you need to write the output to the .cache directory?

I can't think of why this shouldn't work, even if it is weird, so I'm fine to treat this as a bug as long as it's a simple fix!

Hi,

It is not required to put the files there, but I was looking for a place to hide them a little. That way the overall project is a bit cleaner.

np, thanks for clarifying. Issue created here: #1286

I can't say when this will get tackled (would love your help digging into the root issue if you're up for it!)

Yes, I would love to help out on this. I will start poking around in the source code. Thanks.
