The --ignore parameter does not take effect

[Vzz1c]

• Watchexec's version 1.23
• The OS you're using windows 10 latest
  watchexec -i "target/**" make test
  Invalid filtering, still monitors files in the target directory for changes.

[passcod]

Try **/target/**

[Vzz1c]

尝试**/target/**

Try **/target/**

I've tried everything. It doesn't work.

[Vzz1c]

Try **/target/**

Also, on Win11, it doesn't work at all, typing watchexec produces nothing.

[passcod]

typing watchexec produces nothing.

well, i'm gonna need a log file for that

Fairly sure I'm having the same issue.

Exclude file:

**/.idea
**/.idea/**/*
**/.git
**/.git/**/*
**/node_modules
**/node_modules/**/*

Log:

Technically these files shouldn't trigger in the first place, because they do not change, but I'm going to blame that part on Windows. In any case the ignore file should have caught these.

[passcod]

cool, still need a logfile (at debug or trace level)

[tminich]

Sure. This time I had to provoke it via changing an ignored file as whatever is triggering it doesn't want to do it today (further suggesting that part is Windows' fault).

Hmm. I wonder if something changed out from under me and isn't respecting windows paths anymore. Does it change if you do e.g. **node_modules**

[tminich]

No, unfortunately it does not.
