Ignoring all folders with a specific name (for sync), rather than having to enter all paths?

[ghost]

I would like to ignore any and all folders in any project called "node_modules".

I was hoping it would be OK to do something like node_modules/** or .node_modules/** or even *node_modules/** or */node_modules/** or possibly **/node_modules/**. Looks like each project folder has to be specifically added from the main project root folder, like this:

testflowtest/TestFlow/src/node_modules/**, myExpressTestTest/lambda/custom/node_modules/**, mozdemo/node_modules/**, alexa-skill-sample-nodejs-express/node_modules/**

I would love to know an easier way, if possible!

  "ignore": [
    ".remote-sync.json",
    ".git/**",
    "**/test_dir/**"
  ]

Is working fine for me.

Note that in the example below, test2.txt is uploaded, but test_dir is ignored.

Can you give any more information about your OS, Atom, and Remote-Sync versions?

Arrrgh! Thank you for the quick reply, and with many apologies - it was only when I thought of opening the config file that I realised I had missed a comma on the config line, which of course stopped /thing/ working, which was why I thought it didn't work.

**/node_modules/** does indeed work. Thank you!

No worries, I added some JSON validation at launch recently, but should probably do the same for when the package reloads, thus avoiding that all too easy mistake...
