Hm... @1.0.6 stopped loading watch rules from nodemon.json?

[max-degterev]

Sorry, I seem to have a lot of problems with 1.x release :(

I updated nodemon on my home machine today and here's the result:

Looks like local nodemon.json watch rule is not used at all, contents:

{
  "ignore": [
    "\\.git",
    "node_modules/*",
    "public/*",
    "npm-debug.log",
    "*.coffee"
  ],
  "ext": "js json jade",
  "verbose": true,
  "watch": [
    "app/server/*.*", "app/shared/*.*", "config/*.*", "views/server/*.*", "views/shared/*.*"
  ]
}

What am I doing wrong?

[max-degterev]

running with

nodemon -w mp_homepage.coffee mp_homepage.coffee

Rules not being merged correctly?

[remy]

Can you drop me the output of --dump on this too?

hm...

[remy]

--dump should be used in addition to all the parameters you were using that caused the issue.

looks like if there are command-line arguments, json rules are just ignored instead of being merged, because:

@remy if you have time perhaps we can debug it over IRC and figure it out. Had to roll back to 0.7.10 for now :(

[remy]

Picking this up - sorry I've been slack!

[remy]

Ahh. I think I've got it. You're overriding the watch on the command line aren't you? I've just spotted you comment something to that effect too.

Yes, if you define watches or ignores on the CLI then they override any config found, rather than merge.

If you think this should be merged, it's a feature request - which I'm open to - but would like to get a few other opinions on the change of behaviour (and equally - do point out if 0.7.x used to also merge the ignores - it's highly likely I've forgotten!).
