Is there any way at all to monitor non-directory files?
from watchdog.
Took me quiet some time to figure out that monitoring non-directory files don't work o.O Is there any way to do this (despite watching the containing directory and filtering the wanted file, or polling manually for file changes)?
from watchdog.
As far as I can tell, watchdog does not support passing a file's path to watch.
But actually with Linux, Mac and Polling emitters this seems to work by accident, but with Windows emitter it doesn't work (see also #769).
@BoboTiG could you make a statement whether Watchdog wants to support this use case?
Having that confirmation, maybe someone can solidify what already works by adding tests, and for the Windows emitter add some extra code to support this.
Alternatively, support for this can also be done generically, indeed by watching the parent directory like so:
08978b2
(mkdocs/mkdocs#2427)
Which is also perhaps code that could be integrated into Watchdog.
