Homestead + BrowserSync doesn't watch view files

• Laravel Mix Version: 1.0.7
• Node Version: 8.1.2
• NPM Version: 5.0.3
• OS: Win10 + Homestead

Description:

When using the command “npm run watch” or “npm run watch-poll” to update view files, the screen is not reloaded. However for CSS it works normally. This running with Homestead. However, if the commands are executed via Windows10, the view files update normally. I’m not using Windows directly because I use browsersync with other devices on the network, and only via homestead I can do this.

my config (I already tried several paths … I left what works on Windows):

// Configs
let config = {
    host:     '192.168.1.80',
    port:     3000,
    base_url: 'admin.dev',
    watchFiles: [
        'app/Modules/**/Resources/views/**/*.{php,html}',
        'app/Modules/**/Resources/views/*.{php,html}',
        //'app/**/*.*',
        //'public/**/*.*',
        //'resources/assets/**/*.*',
        //'resources/views/**/*.*',
        //'app/Modules/**/Resources/views/**/*.*',
        //'public/css/**/*.*',
        //'public/js/**/*.*',
        //'resources/views/**/*.*',
        //'aap/Modules/**/Resources/views/**/*.*',
        //'app/Modules/**/Resources/views/*.*'
    ]
};

//Browserfy
mix.browserSync({
    files: config.watchFiles,
    host: config.host,
    proxy: config.base_url,
    port: config.port,
    online: true,
    logConnections: false,
    reloadOnRestart: true,
    notify: false,
    open: false //false, local, external, ui, tunnel
});

Steps To Reproduce:

1. Access Homestead via ssh
2. Access Project Folder
3. Run “npm run watch-poll”
4. Change some view file

Same thing here.

Laravel Mix: 1.4.2 Node: 6.11.1 NPM: 3.10.10 OS: Linux (Elementary OS Loki) + Homestead (3.0)

Even with default configuration.

mix.browserSync({
    proxy: 'demo.local',
    open: false,
    files: [
        'app/**/*.php',
        'resources/views/**/*.php',
        'public/js/**/*.js',
        'public/css/**/*.css'
    ]
});

UPDATE A working example.

mix.browserSync({
    host: '192.168.10.10',
    proxy: 'admix.local',
    open: false,
    files: [
        'app/**/*.php',
        'resources/views/**/*.php',
        'packages/mixdinternet/frontend/src/**/*.php',
        'public/js/**/*.js',
        'public/css/**/*.css'
    ],
    watchOptions: {
        usePolling: true,
        interval: 500
    }
});
