[BUG] node_modules always ignored even if specified in package.json's files entry about npm-packlist HOT 2 CLOSED

bundling dependencies is done on a dependency name basis, including your entire node_modules in the result here is not supported. that includes a node_modules in a child directory, which is a bit of a strange use case since node_modules is intended to live next to your package.json.

can you describe your use case more?

if you have a specific dependency you need to ensure is packed and distributed with your package, you'll need to add it by name to the bundleDependencies field of your package.json which will ensure that package and its dependencies are included.

Oops, seems like I have missed the notification. Sorry for that!

To be honest this is only related to a packaging issue with pnpm, which I assume could be a npm regression. But this is no longer relevant now.
