Describe the bug

I am trying to use vite build --watch in a Docker container on a Windows host. WSL does not support filesystem events, but the Vite guide mentions using the usePolling option as a workaround. However it does not work for vite --build - it does not pick up updates. The usePolling flag only seems to work for the vite server.

Reproduction

See repoduction steps

Steps to reproduce

Package.json:

{
  "scripts": {
    "watch": "vite build --watch"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "vite": "^5.4.9"
  }
}

vite.config.mjs:

import { defineConfig } from 'vite'
export default defineConfig({
    build: {
        watch: {
            chokidar: {
                usePolling: true,
                interval: 1000,
            }
        }
    },
})

docker-compose.yml:

services:
  vite:
    image: node:21-alpine
    volumes:
      - .:/app
    command: sh -c "cd /app/ && npm install && npm run watch"

index.html:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
    <h1>Goodbye World!</h1>
</body>
</html>

Start the container. Edit the index.html file. Observe that neither the output of the container mentions rebuilding nor does dist/index.html change in response to the edits.

--watch was overriding the config watch option. If you call vite build instead of vite build --watch, it worked.
