Changing files in WebStorm does not trigger watchedFiles to restart the app

[langdonx]

When I change watched files in Notepad or Notepad++ the app is restarted and my changes are reflected immediately. However, when I change watched files in WebStorm, the app is never restarted and I'm forced to either iisreset or modify the Web.config as well.

I use .NET's FileWatcher to figure out what the difference might be. You can see the results are below. Are you relying on two changed events? Is the changed event that WebStorm fires somehow different than the two Notepad/Notepad++ are firing?

Thanks!

I'm having this issue too.

By default, all JetBrains IDEs, use "safe write" to save your changes. This creates a temporary file, writes the new content there, deletes original file, and renames the temporary file.

I guess IISNode doesn't handle this. To solve your problem, turn off "safe write" from Settings > Appearance & Behavior > System Settings.
