VScode: How to exclude some folders from npm script search

Question

For trying to solve a problem in an Electron project in VsCode, I've made a backup of my node_modules folder and named it nodemodules_Back and paste a node_modules folder from a very close project. But now, in the sidebar, the npm scripts section is showing all the npm scripts contained in the node_modulesBack folder. I understand that there should be probably in some place an indication to forbid the npm scripts search in the node_modules folder and wonder How I could add an excluded folder to delete the included scripts to show up in the sidebar?.

Answer 1

I used VScode for long time and badly didn't use and even know this basic features. So I created settings.jon in the .vscode folder and put there my excluding setting

"npm.exclude": [     
        "**/node_modulesBak/**"
      ], 

So Task of the day: read the documentation....
