find-cache-dir: please don't use node_modules for this
npm will casually stomp all over node_modules. It’s safest to treat that as its sovereign turf, and never do anything in that folder that isn’t specifically and officially related to the management of packages.
I recommend literally any other folder name. Maybe .coverage_output/
or something? I don’t know. But please not node_modules
. You wouldn’t put this stuff in the .git
folder, it should be treated with a similar level of concern.

@isaacs, I think @jamestalmage was hoping to come to a standard that services such as
AVA
,tap
, andnyc
could use for their output, perhaps a better choice would be:.cache/ava
..cache/nyc
..cache/tap
.
