Hi,
I am trying to move my Node.js app and while copying, some files fail to move with the error message Destination path too long. Prima facie, it seems due to the repeatedly embedded &#39;node_modules&#39; folders for some npm libraries (like babel). [few images attached]
<pre><code>D:\dev\temp\myexpress\node_modules\babel-core\node_modules\babel-traverse\node_modules\invariant\node_modules\loose-envify\node_modules
</code></pre>Is this not a good design?Can anyone help me with a workaround for this?

  Hi,

I am trying to move my Node.js app and while copying, some files fail to move with the error message **Destination path too long**. Prima facie, it seems due to the repeatedly embedded '*node_modules*' folders for some npm libraries (like babel). [few images attached]

```
D:\dev\temp\myexpress\node_modules\babel-core\node_modules\babel-traverse\node_modules\invariant\node_modules\loose-envify\node_modules
```

Is this not a good design?Can anyone help me with a workaround for this?
