startWatchTimeout not working

[mariohmol]

Short description of the problem:

This seems not be working: ionic_start_watch_timeout

https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic-app-scripts/blob/master/README.md

ionic serve --startWatchTimeout 30000

What behavior are you expecting?

1. Run ionic serve --startWatchTimeout 30000
2. After the first change in code.. the watch should print in console and it would have to wait 30s to start compiling

   ionic (Ionic CLI)  : 4.5.0 (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/ionic)

@mariohmol Just to confirm, have you tried setting it via the package.json config?

[mariohmol]

I used the command line, using the export to ENV and package.json

"config": {
    "ionic_start_watch_timeout": 2000
  }

@dwieeb Do you have any good reference or explanation in how the startWatchTimeout works?
