Which packages are impacted by your issue?

@graphql-codegen/cli

Describe the bug

On Windows, running graphql-codegen --watch prints this warning:

[Watcher] Longest common prefix () is not accessible
[Watcher] Watching current working directory (C:\Projects\oss\bugs\graphql-codegen-windows-repro\app) instead

This is problematic if your GraphQL schema file is outside of the directory in which graphql-codegen is run.

The issue does not occur on macOS or Linux.

Hey, can you please try this build, this better handles Windows paths for the watcher, but I need to verify if it solved it or not, I don't have a Windows machine with me.

https://www.npmjs.com/package/@graphql-codegen/cli/v/4.0.2-alpha-20230706143738-f59fb0497

Thanks for looking into it! Unfortunately, I tried build 4.0.2-alpha-20230706143738-f59fb0497 and the behavior was unchanged.

do you get a different output or is it still the same?

[srmagura]

Exact same output.
