Resource files are not watched in preview mode

[bryanhanson]

Bug description

Using a build obtained an hour ago via git pull followed by ./configure.sh, on Mac, editing in VSCode, watching with Firefox.

I was adding the subscription feature to my blog. I added a subscribe.html file and was playing with it. Loaded the blog with quarto preview at the command line. I noticed that when editing and saving subscribe.html changes do not force an update of the preview in the browser. I guess this means that subscribe.html is not among the files monitored for changes during preview, and it would be easier if it were.

Holler if you need more info but I don't this is related to my particular files.

Noticed the same problem with .bib files. If only the .bib file is changed, the preview is not updated (did not test with a blog structure, just a simple html document).

Unfortunately, this is a bigger project than I thought at the time I opened the issue, so I'm pushing the change to 1.4.

I just came across a similar problem: Changes in theme.scss are also not watched. Interestingly, with the Quarto blog I've created changes in the SCSS files are watched just fine.

This option would be great (maybe even with specified list of watched files as workaround)
I have quarto project thesis, apart of main files included with Quarto

book:
   chapters:
     - chapter1.qmd

I have several markdown files that I include in files using
{{< include file.md >}}

I suppose the same would help with figures and tables included as separate resource files

Also true for .ejs files
