docpad watch fails with documents with a layout (6.17.1)

[DjebbZ]

It may be related to #366

When I generate a document normally with docpad generate, everything works fine. But when I use docpad watch, It's not working. Below is output of docpad watch --debug where there's an error saying that the layout couldn't be found.

I'm writing content in markdown and use eco for the layout. So I have src/documents/index.html.md with metadata layout: default, and src/layouts/default.html.eco.

Here are the debug output :

We should have watch perform a generate beforehand. As what has happened here is because we haven't parsed everything and rendered things, then when we do a watch regeneration, it doesn't have access to everything it needs.

[balupton]

For the meantime just use docpad run

Fixed in v6.17.2 which has docpad watch perform an initial generation

Fix confirmed, thanks !
