Description

I wanted to create a database from the "installed" node module. But if I run this command

`codeql database create --language=javascript --source-root ../node_modules/101 test-javascript-database`
It always failed and gives this error.
`
[2022-11-03 12:59:36] [build-stderr] No JavaScript or TypeScript code found.`

Obviously, there are javascript files there, and it is printed on the log also. For example this

```
Extracting ../codeql/javascript/tools/data/externs/nodejs/repl.js
[2022-11-03 12:59:33] [build-stdout] Done extracting ../codeql/javascript/tools/data/externs/nodejs/repl.js (15 ms)
```

But I can create the database if the path is a normal GitHub repo. Is there any way to create database from node modules, or codeql does not support this?
