no more watching after first change event

[kapouer]

Hi,
i'm watching a directory with {depth: 0} as the sole option,
and after first change on a file, it seems to be ignoring further changes.
Using chokidar 1.0.1.

[artem-malko]

set persistent option to true.

Shouldn't it be the default value ?

[kapouer]

It doesn't solve the problem

OS? Other options? Text editor?

Umpgh yes sorry, more precisions:

platform debian/jessie, linux 3.16, gnome 3.14.

• i watch a directory with these options explicitely set:

watcher: chokidar.watch(dir, {depth: 0, persistent: true, atomic: true, followSymlinks: true})
.on('change', changeListener);

• when i change a normal file twice, everything's all right
• when i change twice the target of a symlink, the change event is fired twice (or sometimes more times in a row) if i change it twice using vim, but as soon as i change it using gedit no more changes are detected.

Same kind of problem with atomic: false option, in which case i see change and unlink events on regular file, and only one change event on symlink.

With atomic: false on a regular file using gedit:

change /xxx/public/js/.goutputstream-GIOPWX
unlink /xxx/public/js/.goutputstream-GIOPWX
change /xxx/public/js/bindings.js

and using vim

change /xxx/public/js/bindings.js
change /xxx/public/js/.bindings.js.swp
unlink /xxx/public/js/bindings.js~

This is the second or third report of gedit causing problems. I still haven't had a chance to study its raw event behavior to augment the atomic adjustments.

In the meantime if you stick to vim or other editors you should be fine.
