--watch not seeing changes?

[Wynn Netherland]

I'm running my first stand-alone project in a while and it seems
compass --watch isn't picking up my changes. Changes are found and
compiled when I kick it off but it's ignoring subsequent changes
altogether until I kill the process and run it again.

Anybody else seen this?

I'm using watch right now. Works great. I guess I need to know what version, platform, etc.

Hi Adam -

 

There is an old issue having to do with the windows version where to prevent an endless loop of trying to process a file that errors out and cannot produce a corresponding css with matching timestamp.  If an error is encountered, the watch process stops watching / temporarily ignores a file with a timestamp still matching the timestamp when an error was detected (or at least I think that was the design intention.)  In practice, it seems to be killing the watch after one iteration whether an error is reported or not - perhaps the success message is being interpreted as an error.  I'm not on the latest version so I don't know it this is still the case, I know that the version I am running aborts the watch when a file change is detected and has to be manually restarted after each revision.

 

I'll update later this evening and see if the issue persists.  I know it's been on Chris' list for several months and it's not always convenient for him to reproduce and troubleshoot windows-only issues.

I was under the impression that watch was working fine on windows since about 0.8.14 or so.
