Eslint loader checks for files in node_modules symlinked repository

[adamborowski]

I use https://lernajs.io/ to link local packages I develop simultaneously.
I get eslint loader error on module [0] which is symlinked and the link is under node_modules folder.
This module shouldn't be linted because it is compiled /minified code on purpose.
Webpack seems to resolve symlinks immediately so it treats it as a regular source code to lint...

my webpack config for loader is configured to exclude node_modules

{
        test: /(\.jsx|\.js)$/,
        loader: 'eslint-loader',
        exclude: /node_modules/
}

How to deal with this case? Should it behave like that or it's a bug in webpack/eslintloader?

It's looks like a webpack issue more than an eslint one.

Yeah, you are right:
