Description

It seems that make watch dosen't work in wsl2 (Ubuntu-22.04)
I installed a VM (Ubuntu-22.04) today, and it worked well.
Should I change some settings in wsl2 to make it work or this is just a bug?

You may specify "doesn't work".

@KN4CK3R
make watch can build and run the server.
But when a file is changed and saved, it won't reflect the changes.
The source codes are all saved in ntfs (in the mnt path)

maybe related: https://github.com/cosmtrek/air/issues/274

I use docker inside the WSL2 environment and that works fine.

I moved the source codes to ~/{your_path} instead of /mnt/{your_path_in_windows} and it reflected the changes!

But all assets files were 404 when I added bindata Tag. Is it a bug, or just should not be added when we run make watch.

Don't use bindata when run make watch.
