Change file without triggering a reload of Strapi

and where this setting supposed to sit in? following the documentation didn’t help too.
I created a “./config/development/server.json” file ( my NODE_ENV set to “development”) and added to it:

{
    "host": "localhost",
    "port": 1337,
    "proxy": {
      "enabled": false,
      "ssl": true,
      "host": "example.com",
      "port": 8443
    },
    "cron": {
      "enabled": false
    },
    "admin": {
        "watchIgnoreFiles": [
            "./scratch.js"
          ]
    }
  }

but strapi server still restarts whenever I change contents of scratch.js file!!
