howeyc/fsnotify watch in window and linux problem， it‘s have some err about fsnotify

I use the example support by yours.

You can try using https://github.com/go-fsnotify/fsnotify which has some bugfixes that haven't been incorporated into howeyc/fsnotify.

Though it may not fix things like multiple modify events, particularly if you are triggering these changes with a text editor. Editors are notorious for causing issues like that https://github.com/go-fsnotify/fsnotify/issues/17.

Thank you,
I tried. but when modify by "echo "bb" >> test.txt" (it's append in the end of file ) like this, it's print once, but if i use "bb" >> test.txt" ,it's print 2 times.(in window and linux are same).
if open the file with edition , it's print 3 or 2 times.

I use an edition maybe print more. could you explain the different between "echo "bb" > test.txt" and
"echo "bb" >> test.txt" .
thanks.

[woqunokia]

I konw "echo "bb" >> test.txt" , clean the file then write,but after clean it don't save the file.

If you're just using echo it shouldn't have the problems I mentioned about editors. Hm. I'm not sure. 😦

Having the same problem that it returns 2 events instead of one (using with echo)

[nathany]

@pkutishch Would you mind trying against the latest version by running the following in terminal/console:

go get -u github.com/fsnotify/fsnotify

and changing import paths to:

import "github.com/fsnotify/fsnotify"

If echo is still a problem, please open a new issue there.

Thanks!
