@Senthil You can pick up new files by saving/touching the script file instead of completely restarting watchr. That tells it to rescan for files matching the patterns. It’s not done automatically, to avoid wasting resources.

I love watchr , built a simple git auto commit snippet it works fine.

only possible issue is if I add a new file to the folder, it does not seem to get recognised, until I restart the watchr,

any suggestions or fixes

The evented backend has been reenabled. It will kick in automatically on *nix systems if rev is installed (gem install rev)

@Elliot I’ve disabled the evented backend while I fix something - but it should be back in there this weekend

Oh, I love that it reacts to filesystem changes instead of polling. I’ve been trying to use RSpactor instead of autospec to save some CPU cycles but it’s never worked for me. I’m going to give Watchr a shot!

@Jon that’s really interesting! Seeing Watchr used with a language other than ruby totally made my day.

As soon as I saw this, I put together an ‘autotest’ style script for my .NET project (if you’re interested: http://jonfuller.codingtomusic.com/2009/09/23/autotest-in-net/) … I’ve been waiting for watchr for a long time (just didn’t know it!)

Thanks mynyml!
