Can't reload changed file when run snowpack in docker

[baian1]

snowpack use chokidar to watch file.

fs.watch can't work in docker.

https://nodejs.org/docs/latest-v13.x/api/fs.html#fs_availability

set chokidar.watch option usePolling to true,chokidar will use fs.watchFile.

chokidar.watch(Object.keys(config.mount), {
    usePolling:true
  })

should we add cli option to set usePolling to true?

@baian1 thanks for the tip about chokidar.
i added an environment variable to enable chokidar polling in my docker compose and hmr works now. don't know if it's an efficient solution though.

version: "3.8"

services:
  web:
    image: node:15-alpine
    working_dir: /VisitorLog
    ports: 
      - 8080:8080
    restart: always
    volumes: 
      - ${WEB_Source_Location}:/VisitorLog
    environment: 
      - CHOKIDAR_USEPOLLING=true
    command: npm start

Hi @dj-nitehawk
I'm trying to dockerize but when I enter into the page appear the next error.
You don't come across this issue?

@miyelo sorry, never had that happen.
i'm using svelte with snowpack and everything's working fine with this project.

that's a big difference.
Thanks dj.
