Incorrectly Packaging node_modules In Distribution

[GEMISIS]

Describe the bug

When packaging my distribution, JSII is bundling the node_modules directory as well for the javascript distribution. This drastically balloons up the size, and there is no way to prevent it from doing so.

Expected Behavior

Don't bundle the node_modules directory with js distributions.

Current Behavior

It's bundling the node_modules directory with js distributions.

Reproduction Steps

Just do a normal build with whatever dependencies you ahve.

Possible Solution

Additional Information/Context

Environment details (OS name and version, etc.)

Hi @GEMISIS We will need some more information on this. JSII doesn't really package anything itself. jsii-pacmak is using npm pack under the hood. If node_modules are included in the created package, than something in the configuration is likely wrong. What is your .npmignore and files in package.json look like? What version of npm are you using?

[GEMISIS]

The project in question where this is occuring can be found at https://github.com/GEMISIS/discord-bot-cdk-construct

It sounds like maybe npm pack has a bug? Or are you saying I should add node_modules to my .npmignore?

[mrgrain]

You have a number of bundled dependencies: https://github.com/GEMISIS/discord-bot-cdk-construct/blob/main/package.json#L98-L106

It is expected that node_modules will be included in the produced artifact. Are you seeing any that you think should not be bundled?
