How to search node modules in one step back parent folder

[SaranSank]

Hi,
Currently we can search only node modules in workspaceFolder but how we can search in parent folder..where i want to change in extension.js?
My project folder structure :

http://localhost/projects/mynodemodules/myproject

mynodemodules->folder [ http://localhost/projects/mynodemodules/ ]

• node_modules
  myproject->folder [ http://localhost/projects/mynodemodules/myproject ]
  -index.html
  -text.js
  -style.css

I am facing a similar issue.

I have the following structure ⸺

- root/
     - project/
         - index.js
         - package.json
         - node_modules
     - README.md

I have opened root/ folder in VSCode & I entered Search node_modules in search. It threw an error Search node_modules: No node_modules folder in this workspace.

Any ideas to solve this?

@deadcoder0904 : We can resolve easy,

getWorkspaceFolder().then(folder => folder && getProjectFolder(folder)).then(folder => {
if (folder) {
var f_path = path.join(folder.path, '../');
searchPath(folder.name, f_path, modulesPath);
}
});

I have one doubt in nodjs. How to read dir from server path. Example

var f_path = "http://hostname.com/ac/projects/nodepackages";
searchPath(folder.name, f_path, modulesPath);

You should ask such questions on StackOverflow. Never spam an issue.

But to answer your question, that is not the correct way unless your host is publicly accessible. Do it just as you do locally & then push to server & it should work.

I did in locally.But not working for server url. I have asked in stackOverflow but no answer
