Description
I've seen slightly similar issues reported ( #3677, #3587 ) and I would like to add more detail
What's going wrong?
None of the restart | startOrRestart | startOrReload read updates from an ecosystem file.
I.e. changing the script path and running pm2 restart ecosystem.config.js --env production --update-env doesn't update the process process info
How could we reproduce this issue?
pm2 startOrReload ecosystem.config.js --env production --update-env
module.exports = {
apps: [{
name: "Internal API",
script: "./internal_api/bundle.js",
watch: true,
kill_timeout: 10000,
wait_ready: true,
env_production: {
NODE_ENV: "production",
NODE_CONFIG_DIR: "./config"
},
}],
};

Update the ecosystem.config.js and change script path to script: "./internal-api/bundle.js" (hyphen instead of underscore), run pm2 startOrReload ecosystem.config.js --env production --update-env (same for reload, startOrRestart)
$ pm2 startOrReload ecosystem.config.js --env production --update-env

pm2 info 0 will show the old script path
│ script path │ /home/centos/internal_api/bundle.js
Edit:
Also, more of a question, but I would've expected that supplying an ecosystem file will enforce whatever apps are running?
I.e if I change the name of an app in the ecosystem file the it will be registered as a new process and the old one will keep running instead of killing everything except what's in the ecosystem.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the behavior with ecosystem.config.js using pm2 startOrReload, reload, and startOrRestart, then inspect the resulting pm2 info output. Confirm whether changed app details such as the script path are applied, and determine how renamed or removed apps should be handled when an ecosystem file is supplied.
