Files changes not detected on Windows 8

[fsylum]

Hi,

I'm not entirely sure if this is restricted only to my env, but I'm compiling my html using gulp-assemble (in beta), but when settings once to true, it seems like only the first time file changes is being trigger by default gulp.watch. Removing the once value, the gulp.watch tasks triggered perfectly when file changes, but as the parameter suggest, it causes browser to multiple reload.

Here's my `html task

gulp.task( 'html', function() {
    return gulp.src( paths.html.pages )
        .pipe( $.assemble( paths.html.options ) )
        .pipe( $.htmlhint({ htmlhintrc: '.htmlhintrc' }) )
        .pipe( $.htmlhint.reporter() )
        .pipe( $.cleanhtml() )
        .pipe( $.prettify({ config: '.jsbeautifyrc' }) )
        .pipe( gulp.dest( paths.html.dest ) )
        .pipe( browserSync.reload({ stream: true, once: true }) );
});

and my watch task

gulp.task( 'watch', ['browser-sync'], function() {
    gulp.watch( paths.html.src, ['html'] );
});

Can you replicate this issue in your Windows machine as well? Using browser-sync 0.9.1.

Thanks.

You can take a look at full gulpfile here .

Additional, can confirm it's related to browsersync reload statement. Somewhat similar thread on SO: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21389243/gulp-watch-running-only-once-on-windows

Basically once the browser-sync.reload() is commented out, gulp.watch managed to detect subsequent file changes

Thanks for the info - I'll be looking into it

This is a better approach when all you want is a reload following a task.

gulp.task( 'html', function() {
    return gulp.src( paths.html.pages )
        .pipe( $.assemble( paths.html.options ) )
        .pipe( $.htmlhint({ htmlhintrc: '.htmlhintrc' }) )
        .pipe( $.htmlhint.reporter() )
        .pipe( $.cleanhtml() )
        .pipe( $.prettify({ config: '.jsbeautifyrc' }) )
        .pipe( gulp.dest( paths.html.dest ) );
});

gulp.task( 'watch', ['browser-sync'], function() {
    gulp.watch( paths.html.src, ['html', browserSync.reload] );
});

The 'once' option may not be around for long, so it would better to switch the above asap

Closing this, the above example should always be used now for one-time reloads
