can't see node_modules folder in PhpStorm
hidden, ide, phpstorm
Solution
There was a bug in the Vue plugin back in 2016. If you have installed the Vue plugin before Oct 4, 2016, you might have the bugged version installed that hides the `node_modules` folder.
The bugged Vue plugin was removed from the plugin repository in Oct 4, 2016 and replaced with an official Vue plugin that does not cause this issue.
See https://github.com/henjue/vue-for-idea/issues/46. If it's not the case, check if you have 'Show excluded files' enabled in Project tool window settings:
Problem
For some reason I can't see the `node_modules` folder. When I open the project on the explorer, the folder `node_modules` there so I'm 100% sure it's there. I tried to invalidate cache and restart PhpStorm and even deleting the `.idea` folder (which I don't see it too) it's still hidden. In the project settings I've already enabled the `Show Excluded Files` option. I tried to fresh install the program but it's still not shown. How can I make the folder `node_modules` visible?
