Placing module code in local modules folder doesn't appear to be located by Native IDE

Sun 2018.09.09

Commented on in a separate link but burried by title, so relisted here for more current visibility.

native IDE v 0.68.6

From: https://www.espruino.com/Modules

If you are using a local project folder, the Web IDE will automatically create an empty modules folder inside. Put a module there and you can load it with require("myCustomModule");.
With default Web IDE configuration, it will look for modules following this order:
local minified
online minified
local normal
online normal

Located the default projects file newProject.js and verified the module file was in an adjacent sister folder.

Ran the app but was greeted with: Module testLED not found

The console output appears to agree that the modules folder isn't being searched.

I also found this reference form Mar 2018 with similar situation and apparent attempt to resolve. Does this need a revisit?
