Description

in my project using angular 17, everything is working as expected but with ng serve it did not watch file changes.
I checked everythig, I even create a brand new application from command line and did not touch it, just run ng-serve and try to add something to .ts file or html file or even scss. but it did not rebuild again. although I'm getting the following info in terminal:

chunk-GFVYSP26.js | - | 1.75 kB |
chunk-NSLR7JYB.js | - | 1.05 kB |

Application bundle generation complete. [22.664 seconds]
Watch mode enabled. Watching for file changes...
➜ Local: http://localhost:4200/
