Really slow on macOS Monterey #15

Closed bludginozzie closed 2 years ago

bludginozzie commented 2 years ago

This project has lasted 7 years without a code change but it appears that this has now come to an end. I am finding that this watch service is really slow on Monterey. In fact it's less performant than the polling watch service provided with the jdk. Is anyone else seeing this?

Further to this, I discovered this project - https://github.com/gmethvin/directory-watcher.

It is more actively maintained and works well on Monterey.

Yeah, I haven't used this package in the past, but trying it out for a recent project and I'm seeing quite a noticeable delay from the time of the event to the callback getting triggered. It doesn't really matter for this project, but I'll check out the repo you recommended if it does at some point in time, thanks 👍

@bludginozzie @anderseknert apologies for the slow response - as you may have gathered, I've not had any time/energy to devote to this project in a long time. Happy to accept PRs if you want anything done, or transfer ownership. If there are good alternatives out there, happy to link them in the README.

No worries @gjoseph, this works well enough for my purposes. Thanks! 👍
