• Operating System: Windows_NT
• Node Version: v16.13.2

WebStorm 2022.1
Build #WS-221.5080.193, built on April 10, 2022

Reproduction

1. Open minimal nuxt 3 project with pages/ directory enabled in latest WebStorm
2. Start a dev server
3. Create new Vue Component via snippet (test.vue)
4. Visit http://localhost:3000/test

Describe the bug

File watcher does not seem to detect when file pages/test.vue is added, it only detects change. This leads to the route not being registered until dev server is restarted.

Additional context

Logs generated with @danielroe suggested:

  import { defineNuxtConfig } from 'nuxt3'

  export default defineNuxtConfig({
+   hooks: {
+     'builder:watch': console.log
+   }
  })

Opening the issue with better description and reproduction as the author from original #13725 decided to close.
While Windows specific, this is a big hindrance on Windows DX.

Thanks for opening. Does it make a difference if you enable usePolling? (This would not be the fix, just a debugging step.)

From my very limited experience of serious computer stuff, file watchers on Windows are tricky, the homemade solution one of my co-workers came up with similar issue in JustArchiNET/ArchiSteamFarm was to ignore change emitted less than 500ms after create.

Apparently the events on Windows can also come in wrong order, change before create 😅
