It only parses the AST for local files, once it finds a dependency in node_modules, it switches to just pulling in dependencies noted in package.json (too many corner cases).
Since recent npm dedupes natively, I'm not sure the advantage of a cache. I've never seen this package step take very long, but the built-in serverless one does. Make sure you set:
package:
excludeDevDependencies: false
Thank you it was as you said the built-in one that took a lot of time.
However I didn't find this information anywhere in your docs.
Thanks, good point! I added it to the README.
If I understood correctly, this plugin includes dependencies by browsing recursively every file looking for require calls.
This process takes a lot of time if the dependencies tree is big and could be made a lot faster with a cache system.
For example the npm packages dependencies never changes except when the version changes so after it has been browsed once, no need to recheck it in further deployment.
