--watch and run step?

A similar question as this here:

Build.zig webserver?

For projects where I’m building wasm and testing in a browser, I need to serve the files from a real httpd to allow cross-origin-resource-sharing. Just opening files directly in a browser doesn’t work. Does anyone know of a way to run a zig httpd from build.zig to serve the produced artefacts? My current solution is a dockerised httpd as I don’t want to assume that other developers have particular tools. A zig solution which is handled transparently by build.zig would be much better.

Its not possible yet, once a run command runs, the compiler cant stop it. But zig build will get an api in the future that can restart a rebuilt running process
