--ignore-watch <folder> does not work (ignored)

[joeBidenBalls]

Issue description

ts-node-dev --ignore-watch <folder>

the ignore-watch argument gets ignored, so every time my node writes to the data folder the watcher wants to restart.

I believe the syntax I tried using is correct? :

"scripts": {
    "start": "ts-node-dev ./bot.ts --ignore-watch ./data/"
  },

also tried:

"ts-node-dev ./bot.ts --ignore-watch /data/"
"ts-node-dev ./bot.ts --ignore-watch ./data"
"ts-node-dev ./bot.ts --ignore-watch /data"
"ts-node-dev ./bot.ts --ignore-watch ./data/"

Context

I'm running with npm start.
OS version (is it docker or host?) windows 10, ts-node-dev version 2.0.0

Both --ignore-watch=<<relative path>> and --ignore-watch <<relative path>> work for me.

Putting my ignore values in double quotes worked for me. Dont forget to escape the quotes if calling from package.json:

"scripts": {
    "dev": "tsnd --transpile-only --ignore-watch \".next\" --ignore-watch \"src/*\" ./index",
}

Try putting ignore earlier

"scripts": {
    "start": "ts-node-dev --ignore-watch ./data/  ./bot.ts"
  },

Doing this solved a similar issue for me.
