Not workign with watch

[Deathrage]

Where is the file located:
./src/ui/views/index.ejs

Command npm run build:dev works ok and ui/views gets copied to the dev-build folter (resulting in dev-build/ui/views/index.ejs).
Command npm run build:dev:watch does not wor (meaning it does not copy the ejs file).
