Clarification around ignore-by-default #2291

Closed creaux closed 4 years ago

creaux commented 4 years ago

I need to watch for subdirectory of node_modules as I have multiple interdependent packages.

Ava is using following https://github.com/avajs/ava/blob/master/docs/recipes/watch-mode.md#source-files-and-test-files to ignore all default places.

I presume that it means even if I will add "node_modules/something" to "sources" key under configuration this will be ignored.

Is there a way how to override ignore-by-default patterns? Or any workaround?

This can't be overridden, sorry. Perhaps a symlink would work, in that AVA may detect the changes and rerun all tests. I'm not sure though.

(I'm closing this issue for housekeeping purposes, but let's keep the conversation going.)
