filewatcher / filewatcher Goto Github PK

I have a procfile:

---
statics: ./tools/watch_static.rb

And the file:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

require 'set'
require 'filewatcher'
require 'fileutils'

puts 'starting...'
FileWatcher.new(['src/example.com/css/*', 'src/example.com/*'], true).watch do |file_path, evt|
  if File.directory? file_path
    puts "dir: #{file_path}"
  else
    rel  = file_path.gsub 'src/example.com', ''
    targ = File.join('build/example.com', rel)
    puts "copying #{file_path} to #{targ}"
    begin
      FileUtils.cp file_path, targ
    rescue => e
      puts e
    end
  end
end

And a Gemfile:

source 'https://rubygems.org'

group :dev do
  gem 'foreman'
  gem 'filewatcher'
end

gem 'albacore', '~> 2'

This is the output:

✗ bundle exec foreman start
10:18:18 statics.1 | started with pid 3232

(nothing at the end, that is)

If I start it manually:

➜  example.com git:(feature/app-design) ✗ ./tools/watch_static.rb
starting...
Watching:

With appropriate output if I change a file...

I've tried running foreman with bundler. Foreman without bundler. Both act the same. From within foreman I've tried statics: sh -c './tools/watch_static.rb', bundle exec ruby tools/watch_static.rb and any other combo I can think of. If I print PATH from before the running of the file on the 'statics' row, it prints a valid RBENV-based path which has FileWatcher in its downloaded set of gems. Any other program I run with Procfile works.

I'm on OS X, ruby 2.1.2p95 (2014-05-08 revision 45877) [x86_64-darwin13.0], and this lockfile:

So I'm running out of ideas now. Do you have any pointers?

Hello,

I'm trying to write 1 script that can watch for my Jade, SCSS and CoffeeScript files and compile them on save.

Your filewatcher has got me there except for 1 obstacle, I can't tell which file was saved so I can re-compile it.

I don't use ruby, so I'm using this script from the command line. I run the following code:

filewatcher -r . "*.jade *.scss" "echo [X] updated"

All I need is for [x] to be replaced with the filename. Is that possible through your plugin?
I've tried a few different variable names (thought I might get lucky) but had no luck.

Hello!

filewatcher has an --interval option.

But it's only for files check.

I have a problem: massive files changes by git (for example), when many-many files are changed, or added, or anything else, and in the same time filewatcher is working — it's begin triggering shell command many-many times.

Using with --restart.

--interval doesn't help.

We need for a code (or option) about trigger delay: for example, if any (watched) file has been changed — trigger shell command and wait 100–300 ms (for example) before next triggering.

Or, may be, don't collect collection of changed files, and trigger only by first.

Hi, @thomasfl!

Gemnasium is closed.

Now we have dangerous badge in the README:

Let's switch to Depfu.

How it works: AlexWayfer/flame#49

Sorry, but I can't switch, you should do it: https://twitter.com/depfu/status/1004746482380099584

Thank you.

I want to watch C:/Git/MyProject for changes to *.cshtml files. I do not want to be notified about directory changes. I tried this in powershell

filewatcher *.cshtml "C:/Git/MyProject" "rake myCommand %FILENAME%"

I'm getting 2 seperate hits. One for the file that changed and another for the file's directory.

As soon as api is stable you should be on a major version.

We need a plugin system.

For OS-specific features, for example (as #55).

1. Add something like require 'filewatcher/plugins/*' into code
2. Add support of external CLI options (with --help output)
3. Create example plugin (for #55)
4. Add to README info about plugin system and list of approved plugins

I'm trying to sniff the latest log file for postgresql and tail that file. Since it changes, I want to grab the last file and output tail:

filewatcher "$(ls -t /var/db/postgres/data96/pg_log | head -1)" "tail -n 20 /var/db/postgres/data96/pg_log/$(ls -t /var/db/postgres/data96/pg_log | head -1)"

It resolves properly on its own, but not after filewatcher tries to use it.

Hi, I saw this example in the readme:

filewatcher --restart --dontwait "**/*.html" "python -m SimpleHTTPServer"

and when I tried this, I got "Address already in use" error.

Is there any way to fix this?

Hi again :)

Another cool enhancement would be to support interruptions. Currently, you queue a new process when any file has been edited, meanwhile command is running. Do you think it would be possible to add an option to force command interruption if any notification is incoming?

Hello!

How can I run filewatcher in background?

My case:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

def bash(command)
  system "bash -c \"#{command}\""
end

bash "filewatcher 'some_files' 'some_command' &"
bash "tail -f some_log_file"

When I press Ctrl+C in tail — filewatcher is also stopping.

I want to stop tail, but not filewatcher.

Thanks!

Hi. I'm trying to write a small directory watcher using your utility through the Ruby API, using OS X 10.11.

Something as simple as...

FileWatcher.new("lib/").watch(1) do |filename, event|
puts event.to_s
end

...reports file moves, like dragging and dropping a file between directories within "lib" first as "new" and then later as "delete" consistently, regardless of changing the watch interval. This is causing me problems with watching files for the sake of creating symbolic links.

In the docs, you mentioned: "When a file is renamed it is detected as a deletion followed by a file addition."--is that rule supposed to extend to file moves as well?

None of the following work

filewatcher ./src/*.js 'echo $FILENAME'
filewatcher ./src/*.* 'echo $FILENAME'

Seems like having the glob in the filename while also having a directory path is making it break.

All of the following work, but don't let me specify which type of file within the directory I want to watch:

filewatcher ./src 'echo $FILENAME'
filewatcher ./ 'echo $FILENAME'

Thoughts?

I'm trying to watch https://github.com/mrdoob/three.js, tried the following

https://github.com/mrdoob/three.js
mrdoob/three.js
github.com/mrdoob/three.js

But each come back with the error "invalid repo name"

How to replicate:

1. filewatcher '**/*.t' 'echo got file: $FILENAME'
2. mkdir test
3. touch test/haha.t
4. rm -R test

Then exception would be thrown:

gems/filewatcher-0.5.1/bin/filewatcher:108:in `realpath': No such file or directory @ realpath_rec - /home/songyy/fswatch (Errno::ENOENT)

Hello!

Do we need JRuby builds?

The only that fails: https://travis-ci.org/thomasfl/filewatcher

Anybody using filewatcher on JRuby?

Hello, I've met this problem when using CLI:

filewatcher -l "here.txt" "echo $FILENAME was edited"
Watching:
 here.txt
was edited
was edited
was edited

Any ideas of what can be wrong?

Despite the planned major changes in the future, we should release a new version of the gem, which includes all the current changes. This is an increase of minor (the second) version, but by a large number (roughly equal to the number of changes made).

I'm trying to invoke filewatcher using kk

alias kk="filewatcher '~/app.rb' 'app'"
alias app="clear; ruby ~/app.rb"

RVM has 2.3.2 chosen to use and as --default. Ruby -v indicates just that. Upon kk, Ruby 2.0.0 crashes for some reason. I'm not sure why. app.rb is a very simple file and runs in the terminal just fine.

Hi,

I think version 0.5.0 broke the nice (without stack trace) Ctrl+C interrupt.
In my code I have my own trap for SIGINT, that simply says a nice "Goodbye".

Up until now (with 0.4.0) it worked very nicely, with 0.5.0 it does not.

I should mention that I am forking several filewatcher processes.

(Also I wish the spinner was disabled by default).

If a repro case is required, I can try and make one.

EDIT:
I have created the smallest repro case I could make.
Available in this gist

And attaching a screencast of the issue.

Seems like one of the key features of the filewatch gem, is the ability to tail files. This feature could be implemented as a separate gem that monkeypatches or extends filewatcher.

Error:

/Users/rich/app.rb:79:in `require': cannot load such file -- geokit (LoadError)
from /Users/rich/app.rb:79:in `<main>'

Running ruby app.rb works fine. filewatcher doesn't seem to like this file for some reason. Here it is:

require 'geokit'

A couple of changes recently but nothing that should break this. I've logged out and back in (Mac OS) and I'm using RVM with 2.3.3p222. I'm not sure what else to report, nor where to look.

Hi, I struggling with getting file events showing pid (and process name) who invoked change to file. For example, set filewatchet to display vim if I changed watched file via vim. Is it even possible? thx.

Sometimes I've got something like this:

/home/alex/.rbenv/versions/2.4.2/lib/ruby/gems/2.4.0/gems/filewatcher-1.0.0/lib/filewatcher/env.rb:13:in `realpath': No such file or directory @ realpath_rec - /home/alex/Projects/some_project/some_file (Errno::ENOENT)

	from /home/alex/.rbenv/versions/2.4.2/lib/ruby/gems/2.4.0/gems/filewatcher-1.0.0/lib/filewatcher/cycles.rb:39:in `block in trigger_changes'

Also I saw this in some Travis CI jobs:

• https://travis-ci.org/thomasfl/filewatcher/jobs/296424479
• https://travis-ci.org/thomasfl/filewatcher/jobs/296432553
• One more on MRI 2.3 (was restarted, I can't find)

Why; because it makes it easier to do things like clearing the shell window, play sounds or other things.

Hello.

The same story as in #90: I can't connect GitHub applications for foreign repositories.

Reasons for switch:

• Travis CI has phantom fails (another CI can has them too, but I want to try).
• Travis CI has regular weird problems with Ruby versions or system gems.
• Cirrus CI has Linux + macOS (like Travis CI) + Windows (wow), what's important for this project, I think.
• Travis CI has low performance as I saw — it doesn't mean that another free CI will not have low performance too, but for now Cirrus CI looks good in this.

Another alternative: Circle CI (many Ruby projects switched to this, as RuboCop and something else about which I forgot).

But Circle CI:

• has more complicated configuration;
• doesn't have Windows support.

If you connect this application — I'll write config file and everything else.

(There is example of switching: AlexWayfer/flame#60)

Is it possible to watch a whole folder and execute a command every time when add a file in that folder. Thanks

The --restart option should also be available as --background and --fork to make it sort of easier to remember.

Not totally sure about this.

I think the project already has more than 350 lines of code now 🤔

Hi!

I have found a strange behaviour in the ``FileWatcher` class. Let's suppose I want to watch the /tmp directory

FileWatcher.new('/tmp/', debug: true)

What I get - irb session - seems legit:

Watching:
/tmp/KSOutOfProcessFetcher.502.OlaJUhhgKAnFsX7fZ0FyXTFxIgg=
/tmp/launchd-1829.bHB047
/tmp/launchd-365.vTFqBt
/tmp/mysql.sock
=> #<FileWatcher:0x007fe4b40150e0 @unexpanded_filenames="/tmp/", @last_mtimes={"/tmp/KSOutOfProcessFetcher.502.OlaJUhhgKAnFsX7fZ0FyXTFxIgg="=>2014-12-23 16:41:53 -0300, "/tmp/launchd-1829.bHB047"=>2014-12-23 14:45:26 -0300, "/tmp/launchd-365.vTFqBt"=>2014-12-23 14:44:25 -0300, "/tmp/mysql.sock"=>2014-12-23 14:08:22 -0300}, @filenames=["/tmp/KSOutOfProcessFetcher.502.OlaJUhhgKAnFsX7fZ0FyXTFxIgg=", "/tmp/launchd-1829.bHB047", "/tmp/launchd-365.vTFqBt", "/tmp/mysql.sock"]>

However, lets suppose that - for some reason - I would like to use globs for the directory

FileWatcher.new('/tmp/*', debug: true)

or the directory and subdirectories:

FileWatcher.new('/tmp/**', debug: true)

In both cases, results are similar:

Watching:
./tmp/sync
=> #<FileWatcher:0x007fe4b4005aa0 @unexpanded_filenames="/tmp/*", @last_mtimes={"./tmp/sync"=>2014-12-22 17:01:20 -0300}, @filenames=["./tmp/sync"]>

Watching:
./tmp/sync
=> #<FileWatcher:0x007fe4b3843998 @unexpanded_filenames="/tmp/**", @last_mtimes={"./tmp/sync"=>2014-12-22 17:01:20 -0300}, @filenames=["./tmp/sync"]

As you can see, the directory watched changed from the root tmp directory /tmp, to the tmp directory relative to this path ./tmp- which existed by coincidence.

Is this a bug or am I just missing something?

Thanks!

It works great whin main thread.

But when I try watch files from another thread, it not work.
Here my code:

Thread.new do
  FileWatcher.new(["lib/", "Rakefile"]).watch do |filename|
    puts "Updated " + filename
  end
end

The callback only triggered at the first time I updated files, and when I try again it no crash, no error message, just not work.

When I create a new Filewatcher with an array of paths it does not properly assign the block vars. Instead I get a Hash assigned to the first variable.

Filewatcher.new(watch_dirs).watch do |fn, ev|

fn will now contain

{"/path/to/index.md"=>:deleted}

ev is empty.

Notice also, that the event is also :deleted and is not :changed like it should be.

I have validated that this does work properly using the gem version of filewatcher, albeit you now have to use FileWatcher.new, not Filewatcher.new

Hey, I'm looking for a way to monitor file access not modification.

Is there a way to monitor when a file is being read?

Thanks.

Hi thomas!

Thank you for such a great tool.
Wanted to let you know, I think something is happening with rubygems where the classname Filewatcher is getting changed to FileWatcher.

When I tried the API examples I kept getting the following error:

$ bundle exec ruby example.rb
example.rb:3:in `<main>': uninitialized constant Filewatcher (NameError)

I wasn't sure why but then I looked at the gem:

$ grep FileWatcher ~/.rbenv/versions/2.3.1/lib/ruby/gems/2.3.0/gems/filewatcher-0.5.4/lib/filewatcher.rb
class FileWatcher

See how the name got changed to camel case?

Thought you might want to know because it breaks the copy and pastable examples in your README.

Hello, I wasn't sure if this was the place to ask, or if I should email you. I'm trying to use wildcards in the ruby api, something like:

FileWatcher.new(["README_v*.rdoc"]).watch() do |filename|
puts "Updated " + filename
end

where it would watch README_v1.rdoc or README_v2.rdoc etc...

Is this possible?
Thanks

Absolutely love this tool - have run into an issue with my workflow that I suspect might be common to others as well.

Example usage:

filewatcher -r '**/*.rb' 'rubocop $FILENAME'
# in another terminal...
git checkout some-branch-with-multiple-changes

This will spawn a large number of rubocop instances (or whatever the dispatched process happens to be), which can end up causing CPU/memory issues if there are a lot of observed changes. Would be great to support a throttle value (perhaps only on the restart flag?), such that subsequent triggers within a small margin do not trigger a restart?

Unless the extra processes are potentially a bug? Just unclear as to whether or not it's intended behavior.

Hello, first off I'm a new developer and this is my first time opening an issue on an OS project so please be gentle!

The Ruby API examples show Filewatcher.new instead of FileWatcher.new:

require 'filewatcher'

Filewatcher.new(['lib/', 'Rakefile']).watch do |filename|
  puts "Changed #{filename}"
end

Should be:

require 'filewatcher'

FileWatcher.new(['lib/', 'Rakefile']).watch do |filename|
  puts "Changed #{filename}"
end

As in the gem file the class is defined as FileWatcher:

class FileWatcher

  attr_accessor :filenames

  def self.VERSION
    return '0.5.4'
  end

I wouldn't make a comment if it was just one example, but all of the API examples are incorrect and it really threw me off for a while.

Thanks for this awesome gem!

After the latest update, I'm running into an error:
NotImplementedError: Unknown event -- updated -- templates/product.liquid

This is occuring in the watch method below:
action = if [:changed, :new].include?(event) :send_asset elsif event == :delete :delete_asset else raise NotImplementedError, "Unknown event -- #{event} -- #{filename}" end

I also ran into a case sensitivity issue calling FileWatcher.new() rather than Filewatcher.new() for those who may run into the same.

Hi, I saw on shell command section, that there's an ability to exclude nodes from patterns, but I do not really see how is it implemented in library.. Can you please point me to code for me to understand in how to use it via library, e.g. requiring gem from my script and creating an instance. thx.

I need to get just the last file added if there is an event, but if i add 6 files it will just get all of those and fire the event on each of the files.

Hi there,

I would like to know if it is possible to add an option to your program. This option would run provided command when starting filewatcher.

Thanks :)

Most likely, via SimpleCov and Codecov.

• Optional builds on macOS and JRuby (too long)
• Maybe smart sleep pauses for faster local running

If $FiLENAME is "hello.js" or "hello.ts", then $BASENAME should be "hello".

This should be useful when running compiled code. Example

    $ filewatcher "*.ts" "tsc $FILENAME;node $BASENAME.js"

When installing filewatcher with bundler, trollop shows this message:

Post-install message from trollop:

I get the above error after deleting. In this specific example I deleted: _views/home-intro.erb

Hello!

I saw that the syntax highlight for Markdown files is broken in Atom Editor, and would like to correct the syntax without changing the appearance.

Also saw lots of warnings from Rubocop, and would like to fix this (without adding functionality, bug fixing or replacing spaces with tabs).

What do you think about this?
