watchOptions for polling

sage
1

I struggle configuring/customizing webpack of my sage 9 based theme project:

What I tried:

Add watchOptions with poll: true in resources/assets/config.json:

[...]
  "watch": [
    "{app,resources/views}/**/*.php"
  ],
  "watchOptions": {
    "aggregateTimeout": 300,
    "poll": true
  },
[...]

Add watchOptions to config object in resources/assets/build/webpack.config.watch.json:

[...]
      watch: config.watch,
      watchOptions: config.watchOptions,
[...]

Started everything for developing/watching:

$ yarn run start
yarn run v0.27.5
$ webpack --hide-modules --watch --config resources/assets/build/webpack.config.js

Webpack is watching the files…

Modifying files in folder shared over network (CIFS) isn’t noticed.
Watch with poll worked correctly with sage 8 and gulp - so polling on folder shared over network should work technically.

What am I missing in the config?

Thanks in advance!

After installing everything in Bash on Windows I am able to rule out missing polling as the reason, apparently webpack isn’t triggered by file changes.
