Regression: Watching too many files

[alexilyaev]

• nodemon -v: 1.15.1 and 1.17.1
• node -v: v9.6.1
• Operating system/terminal environment: Mac OS X 10.12.6, iTerm

Expected behaviour

Should watch only the files set in --watch or watch config in nodemon.json

Actual behaviour

Watches many files beyond the defined directories and files

Steps to reproduce

1.14.12

[nodemon] 1.14.12
[nodemon] reading config ./nodemon.json
[nodemon] to restart at any time, enter `rs`
[nodemon] or send SIGHUP to 30181 to restart
[nodemon] ignoring: *.log **/.DS_Store
[nodemon] watching: package.json nodemon.json /Users/alex/www/Node/Personal/express-github-login/server/**/* .eslintrc
[nodemon] watching extensions: js,json
[nodemon] starting `eslint -c .eslintrc --ignore-path .gitignore . && node server/server.js --debug server/server.js`
[nodemon] spawning
[nodemon] child pid: 30183
[nodemon] watching 8 files

1.15.1

[nodemon] watching extensions: js,json
[nodemon] starting `eslint -c .eslintrc --ignore-path .gitignore . && node server/server.js --debug server/server.js`
[nodemon] spawning
[nodemon] child pid: 31201
[nodemon] watching 34 files

1.17.1

https://github.com/alexilyaev/express-github-login/tree/nodemon-v1.17.1

[nodemon] 1.17.1
[nodemon] reading config ./nodemon.json
[nodemon] to restart at any time, enter `rs`
[nodemon] or send SIGHUP to 33032 to restart
[nodemon] ignoring: *.log **/.DS_Store
[nodemon] watching: package.json nodemon.json /Users/alex/www/Node/Personal/express-github-login/server/**/* .eslintrc
[nodemon] watching extensions: js,json
[nodemon] starting `eslint -c .eslintrc --ignore-path .gitignore . && node server/server.js --debug server/server.js`
[nodemon] spawning
[nodemon] child pid: 33034
[nodemon] watching 34 files

Note

If I remove the single file matches it works ok.
