gulp.src walks entire directory trees of ignored folders

[PixievoltNo1]

What were you expecting to happen?

If I tell gulp.src to ignore a folder using an option such as ignore: "node_modules/**", it skips over it entirely.

What actually happened?

gulp.src walks the entire contents of the ignored folder, checking that every single file within is indeed matched by an ignore glob. Essentially the #129 problem, but this time caused by Gulp not skipping an ignored folder. Replacing the "/**" suffix with "/" or removing it altogether doesn't help. If anything within is a broken NTFS junction, such as one leftover when pnpm removed a package, Gulp crashes with Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, stat [path of broken junction here].

Please give us a sample of your gulpfile

var gulp = require(‘gulp');

gulp.task(function test() {
    return gulp.src(["**/*"], {ignore: "node_modules/**", sourcemaps: true});
});

Please provide the following information:

• OS & version [e.g. MacOS Catalina 10.15.4]: Windows 10
• node version (run node -v): v22.13.1
• npm version (run npm -v): 8.19.2
• gulp version (run gulp -v): 5.0.1

If you manually override to an older version does it fix your issue? On the other thread some people had reported that it helped. Just curious as this can help us diagnose whats going on.

The override speeds up my build a lot, which strongly suggests it does what I asked! Tried running my gulp command a few times both before and after the override; my build times wildly fluctuated no matter what but they were on average much faster after - median times 19s before, 2.59s after.
