Emit change "notifications"

[floatdrop]

As far I can understand, you are looking for passThrough option:

// ...
.pipe(watch({
      name: "Coffee",
      passThrough: false
    }))
// ...

I believe that's still not it, I mean i've tried it and it still only outputs [gulp] Coffee saw main.coffee was changed the first time I change the file. Every subsequent change doesn't show anything in terminal, although the file is compiled as expected.

@floatdrop There is indeed such a behavior (highly undesired). The desired behavior is like here at the image on gulp-watch page but what being output to the console is just first time some watcher "saw somefile changed".

There is also no string like "Sass is watching 3 files", verbose: true doesn't help either.

P.S. Watching behavior itself is correct though, so it's a matter of correct terminal output.

@lmartins @VasilioRuzanni yeah, this is not what expected to be. I'm not quite sure about cause of this behavior, because logging code is really simple and should work - https://github.com/floatdrop/gulp-watch/blob/master/index.js#L63-L64

Im closing as im not sure if what I was trying to achieve is expected behaviour.

But just to be clearer, my default approach is to have a task for compilation and another for watching, like this:

gulp.task('coffee', function () {
  gulp.src( options.COFFEE.src )
    .pipe(changed( options.COFFEE.build , { extension: '.js' }))
    .pipe(coffeelint())
    .pipe(coffeelint.reporter())
    .pipe(coffee({
      bare: true,
      sourceMap: true
      })
    .on('error', gutil.log))
    .pipe(gulp.dest( options.COFFEE.build ))
    .pipe(connect.reload());
});

gulp.task('watch', function () {
  gulp.watch( options.COFFEE.src , ['coffee']);
});

This does output information every time I change and save a file:

[gulp] Starting 'coffee'...
[gulp] Finished 'coffee' after 15 ms

I thought that by adding the pipe watch in the coffee task itself would achieve the same result but that doesn't seem to be the case, again, this was just my assumption.

gulp.task('coffee', function () {
  gulp.src( options.COFFEE.src )
    .pipe(watch({
       name: "Coffee"
    }))
    .pipe(changed( options.COFFEE.build , { extension: '.js' }))
    .pipe(coffeelint())
    .pipe(coffeelint.reporter())
    .pipe(coffee({
      bare: true,
      sourceMap: true
      })
    .on('error', gutil.log))
    .pipe(gulp.dest( options.COFFEE.build ))
    .pipe(connect.reload());
});
