Hot reloading not working - error parsing the configuration file, unexpected end of JSON input

Been having trouble getting hot reloading to work after switching from Docker to Docker Desktop on Ubuntu.

Hi @domantaskudzius
The log you are showing shows that the hot-reload is actually working because it sends the kill signal and restarts again. The problem is with the configuration you use, not with the watch container. It looks like it is receiving an empty file?
