How to stop RubyMine/WebStorm from including node_modules when using 'find in path'

问题

I have a node.js project which, after running npm install has a node_modules folder in the project root. Everything works fine, but when I load the project into RubyMine, right-click on the project root folder and choose find in path..., the search includes all of the code inside node_modules, which is not useful.

I have tried to mark the node_modules folder as 'excluded', which works, but it still includes the contents in the search.

How can I get find in path... to only search my project files?

回答1:

1. Create custom scope (can be accessed directly in Find in Path dialog (by clicking on ... button) or via Settings/Preferences | Appearance & Behavior | Scopes): include all and then exclude unwanted folders recursively (or just include desired folders only).

2. Choose that scope in Find in Path dialog

   NOTE: Screenshot and settings path is from PhpStorm but it should be the same in RubyMine as well (it's platform-wide feature).

P.S. You can use the same approach in TODO window -- to only show TODOs from your own files.

Excluded folders should not be searched (works OK with ordinary excluded folders) -- possibly it's because they are also listed as JavaScript (or any other) libraries and at the same time located within the content root?
