cdk watch is fully configurable from the Programmatic Toolkit #32939: This issue addresses the same CDK watch functionality configuration as the current issue, but focuses on making file matchers configurable through the Programmatic Toolkit rather than CLI and cdk.json. Both issues aim to expand the configurability of file matchers but target different interfaces, making them complementary approaches to the same underlying goal of improving watch functionality configuration.
(cli): Ensure all CLI options can always be configured as CLI option and in cdk.json aws-cdk-cli#810: This issue addresses the same configuration inconsistency problem as the current issue but with a broader scope. While the current issue specifically focuses on making file matchers for cdk watch configurable via CLI and cdk.json, this issue aims to ensure all CLI options can be configured both via CLI and in cdk.json. The current issue would effectively be resolved as part of implementing this more comprehensive solution.
