Autorestart Mimosa Express Server When server.coffee or files change

[ghost]

Thought I'd leave this here for anyone it can help. This will restart mimosa watch -s every time server.coffee changes or any coffee file changes in your /routes/ directory, which is really nice if you are using a custom server like Express. This is confirmed working on OSX but should work on Linux and maybe Windows with some slight tweaking.

I first installed: https://github.com/emcrisostomo/fswatch

Then I created start.sh which contains the following:

#!/bin/bash
mimosa watch -s &
fswatch -r -o /path/to/server.coffee ~/path/to/routes | xargs -n1 -I{} ~/path/to/restart_mimosa.sh

Then I created _restartmimosa.sh:

#!/bin/bash
cd ~/path/to/your/project
killall -9 node
mimosa watch -s &

Once created just run ./start.sh

There is also a mimosa-server-reload module :)

Oh, I saw that package but read: You must be using mimosa-server

I didn't think that would work for me since I'm using Express.

mimosa-server works with any node server, and it's definitely a pre-req for server-reload. When you run with "-s" it's mimosa-server's job to start your server at the end of startup.

Run a quick "mimosa new projectName" and pick an express server and you'll get a simple project with all that wired up.
