FSSM when watching a text file, throws error when file is changed. about fssm HOT 10 CLOSED

It would be absolutely -not- hilarious if we fixed rubinius just to break everything in windows. OK, maybe a little. But only out of spite for the platform itself. ;)

I guess I need to spend some time tonight setting up a windows VM for testing, and then... testing. It absolutely doesn't surprise me that something broke on windows, but it -would- surprise me if it wasn't in some way my fault. JRuby is glorious for providing a solid ruby environment on windows.

Well please let me know how I can help in the process.

Thanks

I believe I have this fixed in git. Please check out the code and see if that does the trick. If so, I'll roll a release for this fix.

as an aside... if this was, in fact, the fix... i'm guessing FSSM never properly worked on windows. fun times. i had planned on adding a windows notification backend at some point and just never got around to it since i don't actually use windows. but i've been looking at win32-changejournal recently for at least supporting NTFS filesystems...

I will try to try it out.. I cannot use git at work, so it might be awhile..

Ok, I just unziped overtop of the old gem. I ran the test code I had linked before. My test was to edit a .txt file the directory and then save it. This what I got when I did that:

that's all you dude. your own code is referencing something that doesn't exist. from your previous paste:

update { |base, relative| puts "Change detected (#{file}): Base: #{base} Relative:#{relative}"

there is no 'file' variable there, just base and relative.

Just to let you know, it seems to see the change in file now.

I will let you know if I find anything else acting up..

Thanks for your neat gem.

no problem :)
