Description
Summary: Ignore
node_modulesdirectories by default so projects containing Python and JavaScript avoid scanning frontend dependencies during file enumeration and source-folder discovery.I did not add any tests as I did not find existing tests for the other ignored directories + I think these changes are trivial. Happy to add some if needed though.
Motivation
This surfaced as an issue for me in Emacs: When Emacs/python-lsp/pylsp-rope checked what code actions were available, it entered Rope's source-folder scan, and (due to scanning the node_modules directory in my project) took a long time and blocked other LSP requests I made (such as going to definition for a symbol).
Adding
node_modulestoignored_resourcesreduced code-action responses significantly, fixing the issue. I thought making the fix upstream would be good in case others run into similar issues.Related discussion: #869 (comment).
