Description
What's going wrong?
When using pm2 on docker, with the watch option, changing a file does not trigger a restart of the application
How could we reproduce this issue?
- Create a simple webapp with nodejs
- Dockerize it with pm2 and use --watch,--ignore-watch='node_modules' arguments
- Enter the container and change a file

Research direction
Reproduce the issue with a Node.js webapp in Docker using pm2-runtime server.js --watch --ignore-watch='node_modules', then change a file inside the container and observe whether the app restarts. Investigate the PM2 watch behavior in this Docker setup; done means file changes trigger an automatic restart while node_modules remains ignored.
