gulp.watch reports ignored files #2362
Description
What were you expecting to happen?
Not to get watch triggered on the files I ignored (I ignored "!other_project/node_modules/**/*" and I get triggered on "other_project/node_modules/.bin/uuid").
What actually happened?
Watch is getting triggered on change in "other_project/node_modules/.bin/uuid".
Please post a sample of your gulpfile (preferably reduced to just the bit that's not working)
There is whole repro here. Clone it, do npm install and node test.js.
What version of gulp are you using?
4.0.2
What versions of npm and node are you using?
npm 6.4.1
node 8.15.1
os is ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS

By default, Gulp's
micromatchmatcher ignores dotfiles, and your path includes/.bin. Not sure if it's possible to disable that behavior from Gulp, though.ve3 commentedon Jun 29, 2022

This issue gets fixed by glob-watcher version 6, per my testing. So it will probably be fixed without work/at v5 release.
