gulp build --watch stopped watching changes.

[oskarwrobel]

Just after updating npm dependencies I've spotted that gulp doesn't refresh build after source file change. gulp-watch was updated yesterday https://github.com/floatdrop/gulp-watch/releases to 4.3.6. I've tried to downgrade to 4.3.5 and it helps.

Could someone confirm it?

Checking...

Unfortunately I can confirm this.

I fixed the version temporarily: a38ce97.

Ok, I've found the root of the issue and reported it here: floatdrop/gulp-watch#229

I found a way to make it work with current version of gulp-watch by creating globs with relative paths. We need to change this glob definition to this:

const glob = path.join( path.relative( config.ROOT_DIR, dirPath ), '@(src|tests)', '**', '*' );

But for now - let's wait for the gulp-watch maintainer to answer the issue.

Hey, gulp-watch maintainer here. We have just published gulp-watch@4.3.7 which fixes this issue. Please try it out and let us know if you experience any issues.

Special thanks to @szymonkups for helping us to identify the issue and test the patches.

Thanks for help, @UltCombo! :)
