Hi, I'm a member of the VS Code team. In 1.17 we have unintentionally changed the behavior of
workspace.findFiles. In 1.16 it was hard coded to exclude the node_modules from searching. In 1.17 this is no longer the case. Not excluding the node_modules folder can have a huge impact on startup performance in a large workspace. It will also result in polluting the problems view with many errors/warnings.The PR changes the fetcher to explicitly exclude the node_modules.
