Strange results when watching a single file

Closed this issue · 1 comments

For:

require 'rb-inotify'

notifier = INotify::Notifier.new
notifier.watch(__FILE__, :modify) { puts "I was changed " }
notifier.run 

I get a single notify event when I save the file and none after no matter how I change the file

for:

require 'rb-inotify'

notifier = INotify::Notifier.new
notifier.watch('.', :modify) { puts "I was changed " }
notifier.run 

I get notify events properly, is there a caveat / bug around single file watching?

I can't reproduce this. My best guess is that something's wrong with your underlying inotify system.
