Large 'scratch' folder being distributed

See original GitHub issue

Please tell us about your environment:

winston version?
- winston@2
- winston@3
node -v outputs: v8.10.0
Operating System? macOS
Language? (all)

What is the problem?

npm install winston du -sh node_modules/winston/*

This includes a scratch folder that is quite large (17MB) for 2.x. I think it just needs to be added to .npmignore, but it wasn’t obvious to me how it was being generated or what the contents are supposed to be.

winston@3 has a small scratch folder, but maybe it’s just a matter of a CI system accumulating a bunch of builds in a workspace over time?

I also noticed that some of the files intest are specifically not .npmignored, I’m curious if there’s a reason why? The commits don’t really explain why. Obviously those files are super small and not really significant, I’m just wondering.

Thanks for pointing this out. I’m not sure about those test files (@indexzero ?) but I added scratch to .npmignore on 2.x and 3.x, so next time @indexzero pushes a release (?), hopefully this will be resolved (definitely let us know if it’s still being distributed). Thanks!
