#### `--watch-file`, `--watch-files`

A list of files that should be watched for changes. This is useful if you want web-ext to explicitly watch for changes to specific files, without watching the extension directory tree, e.g. the output of the build from a module bundler.

```shell
web-ext run --watch-file dist/background.js dist/content-script.js
```

#### `--watch-ignored`

A list of paths and globs patterns that should not be watched for changes. This is useful if you want to explicitly prevent web-ext from watching part of the extension directory tree, e.g. the node_modules folder.
