[x] I have tried with the latest version of my channel (Stable or Edge): tested under edge 2.3.6 47622 and stable 2.3.0.4 46911
[x] I have uploaded Diagnostics
Diagnostics ID: F6FACDFC-D90A-40E8-8A1A-FC5A6D749036/20200915092839
Windows Version: Microsoft Windows 10 Pro 2004 19041.508
Docker Desktop Version: edge 2.3.6 47622 and stable 2.3.0.4 46911
Are you running inside a virtualized Windows e.g. on a cloud server or on a mac VM: No
Expected behavior
File change events from editing in the host should propagate to the container to enable tools like modd, nodemon or webpack to re-compile files in-container.
Actual behavior
Event triggered when changes happen within the container but not when on host. The problem existed in the past #5701 but seems to have reappeared in the latest Docker for Windows versions.
Steps to reproduce the behavior
docker-compose.yml
version: '3.7'
services:
test:
image: alpine:latest
container_name: test
volumes:
- ./tmp:/tmp
command: sh -c "sleep 1000"Using git-bash shell on Windows
$ docker-compose up --detach
Creating network "inotify-wait_default" with the default driver
Creating test ... done
$ winpty docker exec -it test sh
/ # apk add inotify-tools
