Preact-cli: Preact watch all subdirectories

[EliasTouil]

First of all thanks a lot for all the good work on preact and preact cli, it looks like everything I need in life.

Do you want to request a _feature_ or report a _bug_?
I want to ask a question.

What is the current behaviour?
with create preact app, when I created my app, i was using this structure:

src
--index.js

--components
----app.js

----ComponentName
------index.js
------ComponentName.css

----Component2Name
------index.js
------Component2Name.css

When I use yarn dev ( Preact watch ),
Any saved change to files in components and src will trigger a re-build, any directory that is a children (ComponentName/index.js for example) will not.

What is the expected behaviour?
I would like all children of src to trigger a re-build. How can I configure my project to do so ?

If this is a feature request, what is motivation or use case for changing the behaviour?
It is slow to press ctrl-c and re-build every time I save.

Please mention other relevant information.

• Node version 10.15.2
• npm version XX
• yarn version 1.12.3
• Operating system OSX 10.14

@ericnewman
A few days ago I tried it again and it worked 🤷‍♂
I wish you luck

@ForsakenHarmony
Leah, is there a way to 'force' configure this ?

[ForsakenHarmony]

force configure it?

I sadly have no idea how webpack handles it internally

[EliasTouil]

@ericnewman, since this is fresh, did it maybe happen after a change to your preact.config.js ?

[ForsakenHarmony]

Gonna close this for now, because I'm not sure we can fix something about this

@Mateiadrielrafael do other webpack based projects work?

@Mateiadrielrafael @ericnewman if you're on MacOS check upper-/lowercasing of actual folders and the corresponding imports in your code. The bundle compiles if these mismatch but hot reloading breaks.
