Open Wizek opened 6 years ago
also got this issue, i notice hinotify
(the package fsnotify
uses) works fine on /mnt/c/
paths
it seems that CloseWrite
is never fired (when editing from windows) on wsl from hinotify
and so no modified events are sent

Thanks for the research @dten! Given that fswatch
doesn't support WSL, I think this will be a wontfix for fsnotify
as well, for now at least. We should revisit this if/when the WSL inotify
system has its bugs ironed out.
I'm on Windows 10 17751, and confirm that ghcid
works for /mnt/c/
paths out of the box. fsnotify
version is 0.3.0.1
.
This is exciting! Thanks for reporting
I'm trying to use GHCid with Windows Subsystem for Linux, and I am running into file changes only being picked up when I set
--poll
. Is hfsnotify supposed to work on mounted drives on WSL like/mnt/c
? Or is this known to being not yet supported?Here is the relevant GHCid issue: https://github.com/ndmitchell/ghcid/issues/121
