enable polling in watchOptions?

[YAmikep]

I use a VM (Ubuntu xenial) on a Windows 10 host through Vagrant and Virtualbox.

The source code of the app is on the host and available in the VM via a shared folder.
I was able to mount --bind the node_modules in the VM so that npm start works.
However, hot reloading does not work when a file changes.

If I eject npm run eject and add poll: true to the watchOptions in the start.js script, hot reloading works.

Is there a way to use polling without doing an eject?

Thanks

Hi @YAmikep is this #1049 related to your issue?

Latest discussion is we are looking for a way to detect this situation, instead of adding a config flag

Yes, that sounds about it. Thanks.
I will close this one then.
