I've been using devcontainers in Node development in VSC and enjoy the idea that I can commit a shared configuration to ensure everyone on the team has the same runtime/buildtime. I've been looking for a similar way to configure IntelliJ, but am having some difficulties determining if this is even possible.
I am running IntelliJ 2020.2 and have the Node Remote Interpreter plugin installed.
In my devcontainer, I map a Docker volume node_modules to my workspace such that all my different containers can share the same volume, and not need to re-download the set of npm modules everytime.
I have setup & created an appropriate Run/Debug Docker configuration, and when I launch it, the container is built & configured properly. However, in IntelliJ, understandably, the node_modules folder still remains blank (as that folder is only mounted in the remote container).
Similarly, I have setup a remote Node run configuration pointing to my docker image, but similarly, IntelliJ does not see any libraries that are supposed to be in the node_modules folder.
Is there any way to work with this kind of configuration in IntelliJ such that the IDE understands the mappings I create in my Docker container?
