Description

The watchdog package added a requirement for keyword arguments in version 5.0.0. The current version watchdog is 6.0.0, so new environments will fail when the VolttronHomeFileReloader or AbsolutePathFileReloader are used. This affects the web API on startup, since VolttronHomeFileReloaders is used for web-users.json.

Fixes #3200
