OSX: 'update' event only fires once per file #79

Closed barneycarroll closed 10 years ago

barneycarroll commented 10 years ago

The OSX clause is just a hunch, based on the fact that file system events tend to be quirkier here than in other environments.

I initially believed this to be an intermittent side-effect of passing too high a debounce threshold (getting multiple events fired for one originating operation), but removing this doesn't change the behaviour: watchify will only register one change per file. After the first save, further modifications are not picked up.

I've got a very convoluted set up at the moment where it's hard to see all the dependencies at a glance (using gulp with a browserify task that forks between browserify and watchify depending on watch condition), but I'll try and reduce the test case to its bare bones for analysis.
