Webpack 4 - node_modules in parent folder. How to create vendors chunk?

I have this configuration in my webpack.config.js

vendors : {
    test : /[\\/]node_modules[\\/]/,
    chunks: 'initial',
    name: 'vendors',
    priority: 10,
    enforce: true,
    minChunks : 2,
},

which worked fine when the node_modules were inside the project folder. Now, I have moved the node_modules to the parent folder to share it among other projects. However, the vendors.js file is not created.

I experimenting with the line test : /[\\/]node_modules[\\/]/ but no success. I assume I need to update this line, so that webpack checks the parent folder for modules.

Any advice, please?

Have you tried doing something like this. Because if you dont put slash then node will search for node modules in parent directory.

test : /node_modules[\/]/,
