watchify drops out #299

Closed loldrup closed 8 years ago

loldrup commented 8 years ago

My watchify installation seems to only detect file changes sometimes. It works for a few minutes and after that it just doesn't respond to file changes anymore.

I run watchify like this:

watchify js/test.js -o js/test_bundle.js --debug

I'm on windows 7, and all my packages are very recently installed, as I have only just started using node.

Since it works for a few minutes but then it doesn't, that sounds like a chokidar issue. It may be a windows thing. I'd try looking through the issues there. I'd also try turning on polling since that usually gets around any system issues.
