Watch not working following tutorial on Windows 10 WSL Nix

[CodingFlow]

I'm following the tutorial and when I run deno task start, the server starts successfully after what feels like ~ 10 seconds (seems slow). As per the tutorial, I make a change to routes/index.tsx in VS Code in Windows, but I do not see the changes reflected in the browser even after refreshing the page. The terminal does not produce any updates to indicate that watch has detected the change: terminal continues to display:

/> deno task start
Task start deno run -A --watch=static/,routes/ dev.ts
Watcher Process started.
The manifest has been generated for 5 routes and 1 islands.

🍋 Fresh ready
Local: http://localhost:8000/

I'm using:

• Deno: 2.0.6 in Nix via Devbox shell
• Fresh: 1.7.3
• Windows 10 / WSL2

Edit:

Watch works fine if deno task start is run from Windows. It also runs a lot faster.

This appears to be a known WSL 2 issue. Stack Overflow answer. For my use case, I was able to setup the code in the Linux filesystem instead of Windows mounted directories. It also solved the slowness I was experiencing.

There is a Deno issue open, but it hasn't seen any activity for over a year.
