File watching doesn't work on Windows machines running the system in a container

See original GitHub issue

If I run quasar dev in a container on windows changes in files are not detected.

The usual way to work around that is to configure whatever is watching the files to switch to polling.

It looks like Quasar is using chokidar which does appear to have a polling option, but it doesn’t appear that I can push options to it from the quasar.conf.js. Ideally I’d like to be able to provide it with configuration via that file.

I have this issue as well. Changing any file will not recompile the project, leaving me to halt and run dev again… ** Edit ** The fix above works.

@colinnewell I tried with quasar env https://quasar.dev/quasar-cli/handling-process-env#Adding-to-process.env, it didn’t work. i’ll try with docker-compose. The polling setting is working for me in quasar.config, so it’s not a high priority. thx.
