When in "watch" mode, I'd expect Typedoc to only rebuild files when a source file has been added, deleted or modified.
When in "watch" mode Typedoc repeatedly rebuilds on loop.
I have created an example here: https://stackblitz.com/edit/node-cwq1z6
run npx typedoc --watch to see the problem.
0.23.254.9.516.14.212.6.3Your tsconfig.json isn't set up correctly.
"includes": ["src"]This isn't the property that TypeScript recognizes to specify which files are included, that's include, so TypeScript will look at every single file in the current directory. You can see this by running npx tsc --explainFiles
❯ npx tsc --explainFiles --noEmit
(many lines omitted)
Matched by default include pattern '**/*'
Because the docs folder is matched by this pattern, TS will notice that a file changes in there when the watch fires and tell us something changed, so TypeDoc will rebuild... resulting in the infinite loop you saw.
Two possible fixes:
includes, renaming it to include"exclude": ["docs"]| Owner Name | TypeStrong |
