pm2-dev: '--ignore-watch' option not supported

[eightyfive]

I'm reposting my issue here because I dunno if the pm2-dev repo issues are taken care of or even visible to the Unitech team.. :-S

Original issue (let me know if I have to close it):
https://github.com/Unitech/pm2-dev/issues/1

I maybe confused but it seems that the --ignore-watch option is not supported by pm2-dev.

Tried to run:

$ pm2-dev run server.js --ignore-watch='^.*\.log$ es6 client public \.git'

Got:

error: unknown option `--ignore-watch'

Is there a way to ignore a set of files in development mode?

Thanks

Confirmed.

Even ignore_watch config in package.json is not supported.

--ignore option available for pm2-dev (<=> pmd command) on pm2@next

$ npm install pm2@next -g
$ pmd app.js --ignore "something,somethingelse"

I am trying this , it's not work.
But you can using another way to ignore watching some files.

Config a json file: app.json
{ "apps" : [{ "name" : "app", "script" : "./app.js", "watch" : true, "ignore_watch" : ["node_modules", "sqlLogRunTime.txt"] }] }

And start with this command : pm2-dev start app.json

pm2-dev documentation is horrible

Rather read the source:
