In python doit (pydoit), what is the expected behaviour of watch parameter

For a task, I have following metadata:

def task_build_tgz():
    return {
        'actions': [do_action],
        'targets': targets,
        'uptodate': [run_once],
         
        'watch': watch_dirs
    }

The watch_dirs is bunch of dirs. My expectation was when a file changes in one of the watch_dirs, the task would be reevaluated. I get this behaviour with file_dep. But not with watch parameter. Is this expected or is it a bug. I am running this on fedora?

When you use the auto sub-command, the output include only executed tasks. If the task is up-to-date it does not produce any output.

You are using run_once on your task. So it will not be executed again...
