Why is index.html ignored when I do not issue any ignore pattern and how to fix this?

[halloleo]

I run a livereload server from this code:

from livereload import Server, shell
server = Server()
server.watch('build/**/*')
server.watch('build/*')
print(server.watcher._tasks)
server.serve(host='0.0.0.0', root='build', port=9000)

When I run this server and then change the stuff in my site directory build I get logging output like this:

$$$ python server.py                                                                                 
{'build/**/*': {'func': None, 'delay': None, 'ignore': None, 'mtimes': {}}, 
 'build/*': {'func': None, 'delay': None, 'ignore': None, 'mtimes': {}}}
[I 201025 13:23:17 server:335] Serving on http://0.0.0.0:9000
[I 201025 13:23:17 handlers:62] Start watching changes
[I 201025 13:23:17 handlers:64] Start detecting changes
[I 201025 13:23:38 handlers:135] Browser Connected: http://localhost:9000/gallery/

[I 201025 13:24:37 handlers:82] Ignore: build/index.html

The output shows in the last line that build/index.html is ignored hwich totally defets the propsuse - beacsue build/index.html was chanegd. And my debug print line at the top show clearly that in _tasks is no ignore attrivute set.

So why is build/index.html ignored and how can I tell livereload to watch all files in the directory build for changes. (The site is not very big; it contains only 114 files).

if time.time() - cls._last_reload_time < reload_time:

As things currently stand, if you make changes "too quickly", they get ignored. I'm personally not 100% sure about how the logic here works, but I'll take a closer look sometime next month.

Thanks for the info, @pradyunsg.

Sounds like a bit of a straneg logic to me. - Maybe the system is designed to go through the whole motion of notifying the browser and reloading the content for each individual changed file?

Wouldn't it be better to collect all the changes and then do the reloading? Well, - easy for me to critise from the outside. ;-)
