Is there a way to "unwatch" a removed directory?

Opened this issue 5 years ago · 5 comments

I am facing a problem where a directory is removed.

Example:

notify.Watch("/foo/...", events...)

A path inside foo is removed once in a while (I can't control it). How can I unwatch that removed directory? I tried to rewatch it using the Watch function but it did not work.

The underlying watcher is inotify

Dear I'm looking for the same feature. Can I unwatch one of many paths I put with notify.watch ?
