Vue-cli: Restart vue-cli-service on .env file change

[tecfu]

What problem does this feature solve?

There is no built-in way to listen for changes to .env files to trigger a reload of the dev server.

This is especially frustrating when developing withing a docker environment where npm run server is the entrypoint.

What does the proposed API look like?

vue-cli-service serve --restart-on-env=true

I don't understand that specific point.

Also, I have a hard time imagining a scenario where I have to constantly change env variables. rebooting the dev server can't be such a hassle if it's once or twice a day or so?
