Do AWS CodeBuild cache paths support "!" wildcard?

Question

I'm struggling to use CodeBuild cache in my project with Yarn Workspace as I mentioned .   
  
I'd like to know if cache paths support "!" wildcard. I've tried to set paths this way

```
cache:
  paths:
    - 'node_modules/!(@packages|@projects)/*'
```

instead

```
cache:
  paths:
    - 'node_modules/**/*'
```

because this way I'd be able to manually exclude the folders that Yarn creates, thus removing the error, and consider the others. Unfortunately, I got this error   
  
** 2019/05/01 16:38:12 Error mounting /codebuild/output/src639680001/src/git-codecommit.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/v1/repos/MY_REPOSITORY/node_modules/!(@packages|@projects): symlink /codebuild/local-cache/custom/eb9bb0b44747dafd702a8f2ed727c6d71eeb4d132e693b9d70d767d72cd9775c/node_modules/!(@packages|@projects) /codebuild/output/src639680001/src/git-codecommit.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/v1/repos/MY_REPOSITORY/node_modules/!(@packages|@projects): no such file or directory **  
  
Is there a correct manner to use "!" wildcard?

Answer

Hi arantespp,  
  
CodeBuild's cache syntax currently only supports inclusive (as opposed to exclusive) notation. We'll look into the possibility of expanding this feature in future.  
  
For right now, you can run `rm -r node_modules/@packages node_modules/@projects` at the beginning of your build if you do not want those directories to remain in the cache.
