Ignore apparently not working at all

Watchexec's version 1.18.4 on arch linux

In 1.17.x the same command as below (except for the --print-events) allowed rebar3 to run at least once, then watchexec only run it again when I changed something in ./src.
Now it seems that it does not ignore _build anymore and it goes into a loop. I have to kill it before looping because otherwise it fills the shell with another error (cannot send event from fs watcher: no available capacity). I tried adding --no-project-ignore because there are .gitignore files that could interfere, but same result.
I saw another issue regarding ignore option, but I do not understand if this is a different symptom of the same problem...

Thanks in advance

This was probably fixed, or partially fixed, in 1.18.5, can you try that? Otherwise likely a duplicate of #241. I'll review that log tonight.

It does not print the "cannot send events..." error, but it still loops calling the command continuously, apparently ignoring the -i directive on _build

You can probably use -i '**/_build/**' instead to cover that for now.

Wonderful, that worked! Thank you ;)
