I want to know how to make lsp-mode ignore a node_modules folder (along with say, folder asdf and temp). This is what I have:

(setq lsp-file-watch-ignored (rx (or "node_modules" "asdf" "temp")))

but for some reason it is not working. This official link says that lsp-mode uses a regex for lsp-file-watch-ignored, but the error I am getting seems to imply that it is expecting a list. What am I doing wrong?

Did you try `lsp-file-watch-ignored-directories`? Does it not work? – Swarnendu Biswas Mar 27 '21 at 15:15
I'm trying `(add-to-list 'lsp-file-watch-ignored-directories "[/\\\\]\\.node_modules\\'")` and it's not working, probably cause my regex is bad or something – Caleb Jay May 12 '21 at 13:14
