I’m doing some dev with Vue3& Vite using VisualCode on MacOS.
However, I can not make the watcher work without usePolling: true.

Meaning that without usePolling: true, my watcher does not work at wall. I’m sure it’s a config issue, but really don’t know which one. Either Vcode or Vite.config

This uses a lot of CPU because it’s a big project. I read about WSL, but doesn’t apply being already on mac.

My vite.config is this:

export default defineConfig(({mode}) => {
  // const mode = mode?.NODE_ENV || 'development';
  // console.log("Current mode:", mode);
  // const env = dotenv.config({ path: `./.env.${mode}` }).parsed;
  return {
    plugins: [vue()],
    debug: true,
    define: {
    },
    resolve: {
      alias: {
        '@src':  path.resolve(__dirname, 'src'), // Adjust the path accordingly
      },
    },
    build: {
      target: 'es2015',
      outDir: 'dist',
      envFile: true
    },
    server: {
      hmr: { overlay: true }, // Disable HMR overlay
      watch: {
        ignored: ['!**/dist/'],
        usePolling: false
      }
    },
  }
});

I’m new to this modern front-end development, coming from a backend experience, so I don’t know where to pick this up.
