All the files in the project are indexed by chokidar before resolving triggers

[Tofandel]

I want to run turbowatch at the root of a huge project (including workspaces tons of node modules and non js files etc)

I'm using triggers to indicate I only want to match a few directories in the list

  project: path.resolve('../'),
  triggers: [
    {
      // Expression match files based on name.
      // https://github.com/gajus/turbowatch#expressions
      expression: [
        'anyof',
        ['match', 'src/**/*.php', 'wholename'],
        ['match', 'web/app/**/*.php', 'wholename'],
      ],
    }
  ]

But chokidar tries to index the whole structure nonetheless, resulting in the build never actually starting because chokidar chokes on the amount of files to scan (more than 2 million)

This results in this logs

And no build ever starting

As a workaround I created a directory and inside created symlinks to ../src and ../web/app/custom-plugins and set the project to that and match *.php
