Why does npx patchcab destroy ./modules?

[aolney]

Describe the bug

When running npx patchcab, these lines in bin.ts cause my ./modules directory to be destroyed:

patchcab/core/src/bin/bin.ts

Line 28 in 0fdb815

const PATH_BUILD = resolve(DIR, './modules');

patchcab/core/src/bin/bin.ts

Line 36 in 0fdb815

rimraf.sync(PATH_BUILD);

./modules seems to be a source directory - why is it being deleted?

To Reproduce

• git clone
• yarn install
• npm run build
• npx patchcab

Environment:

• Ubuntu 20.04
• vscode

I deleted everything and started over, and the problem still occurs - it is the npx patchcab that triggers it.
