Hi,

I have a pipeline which uses the checkout([ $class: 'PerforceScm... syntax.
Among other things, this build runs "npm install" which creates the node_modules folder under the workspace with all the relevant packages.

When the checkout is done with Automatic Cleanup and Sync (AutoCleanImpl) - it cleans up all files under node_modules but leaves the folder structure intact. This causes issues when running npm install in the next build.

As a workaround I have 2 alternatives:
1. run "npm cache clean" on every build
2. checkout with "Forced Clean and Sync" (ForceCleanImpl)

Can AutoCleanImpl also remove non-versioned folders? Or this is intentional?

Thanks,
Mor
