+1 If there is a solution/alternatives to fs.watch()

A few things to consider.

  1. fs.watch() is unreliable, said the docs.
  2. hence, authors has to think twice when including this in libraries.
  3. when naught run only one file, why wouldn't you write a simple fs.watch() yourself and restart the process on change?

naught is made for running in production. in development I suggest you use https://github.com/fgnass/node-dev/

My mind is open though. Is there a reason to use naught for development instead of node-dev?

hampsterx commented 11 years ago

Simply want to use the same software in development to our environments (dev,testing,prod). The less deviations the better/easier to deploy/manage infrastructure wise.

After thinking about it for a while I decided that this is not something that naught will do.
