Dev Server continuously hot-reloads if js files are imported form subfolder #544

Summary

I have a lightning web component and use sf lightning dev as local dev server.
I split the js code of the web component into multiple files are try to organize them in folders

when I do this, the dev server starts but gets a 'change detected' signal about each second

The lighting compiler that is used when 'deploy'ing and the one producing the code works as expected

Steps To Reproduce:

• Create an lwc
• factor out code from the main js file , move it into a subfolder and import it from there
• start the dev server and look at the console output

Expected Result

The component should be loaded from backend, then one-time replaced by the local code and displayed

Actual Result

the component loads form the backend, but then a reload cycle of the local code occurs around each second

Additional Information

Screenshots:
see above

Logs:
see screenshot. I could produce debug logs if needed. Would be nice to know how to set DEBUG to a value other than '*' to limit the output to the really necessary (e.g. excluding babel output)
