Deco installs old version of watchman 4.5.0 n OSX #267

Closed gmp26 closed 7 years ago

gmp26 commented 7 years ago

Deco installed watchman 4.5.0 for me, but OSX has some issues with it which are corrected in version 4.7.0. However installing latest homebrew watchman leads to mismatch between front end and watchman server:

$ watchman version
{
    "version": "4.5.0"
}
$ watchman --version
4.7.0
$ ps aux | grep watchman
.../usr/local/Deco/watchman/watchman...

How to uninstall cleanly? since Deco appears to have installed the server as a startup process?

You can close Deco IDE and just kill any remaining watchman process that is running from /usr/local/Deco. We only install to /usr/local/Deco so it won't overwrite any other installations, so it's safe to kill it and run another version of watchman.
