Used for many directories

[movie4]

Hello!

Сan not set up gulp-newer correctly to work with directories, all files fall into .pipe(browserSync.reload());

appList.forEach(function(folder) {
    appName = folder.match(/.+\/(.+)\/$/)[1];
    gulp.src(getConcatFiles(appName, type))
        .pipe(filter(['*.html', '*.jinja2']))
        .pipe(newer(getExistConcatFile(appName, type)))
        .pipe(browserSync.reload({ stream:true }));
});

getConcatFiles(appName, type) - return files array

getExistConcatFile(appName, type) - return array with path like bellow: ./app/accounts/templates/ ../itcase-dev/itcase-cart/cart/static/cart/templates/ ./app/experts/templates/ ./app/plupload/templates/ ./templates/

Thanks for your answer.

I'm not sure I totally understand your setup, but newer will compare modification times of incoming source files to corresponding files in a single output directory. The assumption is that newer is part of a chain of gulp streams that is creating the output files.

In the example you give, it is not clear what is responsible for creating the files in the directories returned by getExistConcatFile, but in any case, newer does need to be provided a single dest directory path so it can compare input to output file modification times.

Thank for your answer and an explanation of 'newer' works.
