cSpell.ignorePaths default paths can not be overwritten

[micnic]

I am developing my node modules inside a node_modules directory and wanted to be able to spellcheck the code. I removed the **/node_modules/** option from the cSpell.ignorePaths array, but the files from the this directory are still not spellchecked. Even if I modify the user or the workspace settings it does not help.

Tested environment:
OS: Ubuntu 16.04
VSCode: 1.8.1
Spell-checker: 0.14.3

Thank you. I'll check it out.

cSpell also excludes the search exclude list.

// Configure glob patterns for excluding files and folders in searches. Inherits all glob patterns from the files.exclude setting.
  "search.exclude": {
    "**/node_modules": true,
    "**/bower_components": true
  },

Add this to your workspace settings:

// Configure glob patterns for excluding files and folders in searches. Inherits all glob patterns from the files.exclude setting.
  "search.exclude": {
    "**/bower_components": true
  },

I am sorry for being annoying, but it is still not working :)

I added the following settings to the to the workspace:

{
	"cSpell.ignorePaths": [
		"**/vscode-extension/**",
		"**/.git/**",
		".vscode",
		"typings"
	],
	"search.exclude":{
		"**/bower_components": true
	}
}

The project has this location:
/home/micnic/repos/github/node_modules/*MODULE_NAME*

I played around with different settings and restarting VSCode, but nothing helps. I always get this message at the bottom:

It's enough to move the file outside the node_modules directory and the spell checking works fine

I'll take another look.

This seems to be an issue with VS Code. It is not honoring the workspace settings.
I just stepped through it with the debugger. The **/node_modules is getting added by VS Code even after I took it out of the search.exclude list.

There is a minor bug in how we check the glob, that might fix this issue for you.

In the mean time, there is a work around by using npm link. That allows you to have your node_modules in a different location.

Thanks for the information, should this bug be reported to the VSCode repo?

[Jason3S]

I think I have fixed the spell checker so it will work in your case. Please let me know.

[Jason3S]

The fix should be in 0.14.6

[micnic]

Works fine with 0.14.6, thank you very much

0.14.6 & VS Code: 1.31.1, I can't get files with a node_modules somewhere in their path to spell-check.
