Cannot use IDE with npm/gulp modules present in sketch folder

Community Suggestions for the Arduino Project

I've created a build script with npm/gulp. Unfortunately, the IDE tries to compile some ressources from the node_modules folder:

GetFileAttributesEx C:\andi\htdocs\vzero\node_modules\gulp\node_modules\gulp-util\node_modules\dateformat\node_modules\meow\node_modules\normalize-package-data\node_modules\validate-npm-package-license\node_modules\spdx-expression-parse\node_modules\spdx-license-ids\spdx-license-ids.json: The system cannot find the path specified.

This folder should be ignored completely.

Any ideas?

Is this really beyond repair?
