-x option: possible bug? #144

Closed JSB97 closed 7 years ago

JSB97 commented 7 years ago

Making use of # fswatch 1.9.2, with the following command in directory ./tmp.

$ fswatch -x .

When copying a file from another directory to ./tmp, I get the following output;

$ cp somedir/PDF.pdf ./tmp
# somepath/tmp/PDF.pdf Created Removed Updated OwnerModified AttributeModified IsFile

When deleting the same file in ./tmp, I get below;

$ rm  ./tmp/PDF.pdf
# somepath/tmp/PDF.pdf Created Removed Updated OwnerModified AttributeModified IsFile

I would have expected to see Created IsFile when running cp and Removed IsFile upon execution of rm, but is there a reason why I don't observe this?

Are you running fswatch on OS X? OS X may return event flags of previous events for the same file if they occur sufficiently close in time.
