File watch mode doesn't work in docker about main HOT 1 OPEN

Hi @timbarclay ,
You're right, thank your for sharing! The core of the project is using node-watch for watching the files, and it seems to be a wrapper for the node method fs.watch. I have just found a caveat about that method in the NodeJS documentation:

If the underlying functionality is not available for some reason, then fs.watch will not be able to function. For example, watching files or directories can be unreliable, and in some cases impossible, on network file systems (NFS, SMB, etc), or host file systems when using virtualization software such as Vagrant, Docker, etc.

So, this issue has not an easy solution, apart from trying to find another library without problems with virtualization, and replace the dependency.
