in my nodejs project I created a local package like this

{
  "name": "template-utils",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "main": "index.js",
  "license": "MIT",
  "dependencies": {
    "amqp-connection-manager": "^4.1.14"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "prettier": "^3.3.2"
  }
}

"use strict";

module.exports = {
  Logger: require("./log"),
  Amqp: require("./amqp")
};

I have a script to copy the folder template-utils with these files into ./lib of my main package (the one I run). I install it with this in package.json

"template-utils": "file:./lib/template-utils"

When I install, template-utils is correctly inside my node_modules with a link pointing at the folder in ./lib. However, if I do

const { Logger, Amqp } = require("template-utils");

Then Logger and Amqp are not recognized by Intellij and I don’t understand why.

I tried to check if it was related to Intellij folder exclusion but it doesn’t look like it’s the case. The local package also has its node_modules from npm install
