Watching `__dirname` and not what I set `path` to

What is the problem

When I set the path to watch as a different path other than __dirname, it doesn’t seem to work … what I mean is that it seems to watch changes only in __dirname, and not the path that I specified

How to reproduce

• Clone blocks/desktop
• yarn
• yarn add -D electron-reload
• Add this code to main/index.js:

require('electron-reload')(path.join(__dirname, '..', 'src'), {
  electron: path.join(__dirname, '..', 'node_modules', '.bin', 'electron')
})

• yarn start
• Change line 83 in src/index.js to:

- <span sx={{ ml: 2 }}>Back</span>
+ <span sx={{ ml: 2 }}>Testing</span>

• Navigate to some MD or MDX file in your filesystem
• It will show up as <- Back and not as <- Testing! For example:

Before	After

Please leave this open. I’ll use it as a cue for implementing the events.

Yes please let me know 🙏 . In the last release we made the assumption that the main file requires electron-reload. Maybe it doesn’t make sense for specific projects and we need to revert back.
