eleventy --watch ignores Pass-through File Copies

See original GitHub issue

Currently, Pass-through File Copies are ignored by eleventy --watch; thus, it doesn’t trigger a new build when a static file (e.g. a CSS file) changes.

Is this intended? If so, should it be changed? I think it should.

To be honest, this is so crucial for development that I consider this a bug, not a feature request.

Hmm, for the record this was fixed for standard passthrough copy but appears to never have worked with --passthroughall specifically. Filed this new issue as #439.

As a workaround you can use Pass-through File Copy or Manual Pass-through Copy methods for now which should work fine. https://www.11ty.io/docs/copy/
