Not seeing node_module dependencies
Hi!
I'm using Intellij IDEA Ultimate 2019.3 with NodeJS Plugin 4.2, mostly default settings, and am currently following this tutorial: https://www.valentinog.com/blog/babel/
The editor gives me a warning saying "module is not installed" :
Which is odd, because it is installed in the node_modules folder at root, and listed as a dependency in the package.json file:
Following Intellij IDEA's tip to "Run npm install" does not help, although the command runs successfully:
/usr/local/bin/node /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/bin/npm-cli.js install --scripts-prepend-node-path=auto
...
Process finished with exit code 0
What is odd is that the node_modules is not showing in the project folder view. I have checked that the setting "Show Excluded Files" is on.

What's odd is that when I add a dependency intellij idea gives me suggestions from the node_modules folder:
But, afterwards, it says that its not installed..
Could you share your project's `.idea` folder and your log folder zipped (Help > Compress Logs and Show in ...)?
please also make sure that
node_modulesis not added to Ignore files and folders list in Preferences | Editor | File TypesOh no! I had forgotten about that Elena, yes I had added node_modules to Preferences > Editor > File Types > Ignore files and folders ...
When I removed node_modules from this list, Intellij IDEA stopped complaining about module not being installed, allowing me to go to declaration if needed.
Case resolved ... Thanks!
I can confirm this works.
I wanted to hide node modules from file tree, but instead of just turning it off in kebab menu I added it to ignore list mentioned above.
Thanks!
