Improve poll versus watchdog selection #16

Open JamesHutchison opened 1 year ago

JamesHutchison commented 1 year ago

[ ] Detect if watchman is broke and fallback to poll
[x] Add parameters to force a selection
[ ] Maybe figure out why watchdog failed in my dev container and try to prevent that?

Its worth calling out that crab eye, which doesn't exist yet, is intended to be a universal replacement for watchman and would ideally perform better

What I'm noticing is possibly an issue with docker and file update notifications not working properly. It seems to affect not only the hot reloader, but VS Code as well. Ideally things "just work", so perhaps implementing crab eye and switching this to that is the best course of action.
