Watcher crashes if there are no fragments or webhooks

[alasdairtran]

Bug description

A slightly annoying bug on newer wunderctl versions (I think starting from 0.98.0). If I don't have a .wundergraph/webhooks or .wundergraph/fragments directory, then the watcher crashes with error, e.g.:

error   Could not watch files   {"watcherName": "config-bundler", "error": "lstat /app/services/api/.wundergraph/webhooks: no such file or directory"}

and afterward, any change to .wundergraph will no longer trigger reload.

If I add a dummy fragment and webhook, then hot reload works again.

How to reproduce

1. Open https://github.com/wundergraph/wundergraph-demo in Gitpod
2. Update wunderctl to ^0.98.0
3. Try changing a file in api/.wundergraph/operations
4. Reload is no longer triggered.

Expected behavior

Hot reload should work in projects without any fragment or webhook.

Can you try 0.98.1?

It's the same error. I guess you might want to add a directory to the watch list only if it exists.
