Adding new file does not add it to watchers

[AlexanderTserkovniy]

Hey!

If I add new stylus.styl file, it is not added automatically to the scope of watchers.

Sorry if it is known issue.

The generator uses the file watching from Gulp 3 which is known to have some limitations. For example a new directory or the creation of the first file in a directory will be missed. Please try to stop your watch process and relaunch it before asking for help.

Thanks, will it be somehow fixed in the future? I saw you are planning more fixes/features when Gulp4 is ready, will you consider this as what has to be?

Also, have you considered of using nodemon? As I know it is done exactly for such cases.

Yeah when we migrate to Gulp4 this issue should be solve.
In fact Gulp4 will use a new library for watching files. (gulpjs/gulp#1247).

At this time you can use gulp-watch plugin who use the same library: chokidar
