grunt forever:restart is not working

[alexserver]

I'm working with grunt-contrib-watch and grunt-forever together, so if any file changes, I order forever to restart via : forever:

:restart. This is apparently working, but when I refresh the browser updates are not being shown, so I suppose there is a bug within grunt-forever and forever itself.
this is my grunt config:
forever: {
server: {
options: {
index: 'app.js',
logDir: 'logs/'
}
}
},
watch: {
web: {
files: ['examples/*js'],
tasks: ['browserify', 'forever:server:restart']
},
}

+1 no workaround for now...

Not working for me either. forever list shows the same process ID and uptime before and after the restart

In the meantime, I think I found a rough workaround with grunt-shell. I added the following to my Gruntfile:

shell: {
    start: {
        command: 'forever start --watch index.js'
    },
    stop: {
        command: 'forever stop index.js'
    }
}

and then made sure the shell:start task would run whenever I did a watch. Granted, this completely sidesteps grunt-forever, but it seems to be working in my 15 seconds of testing so far. ;-)

Should be fixed in v0.4.6 with this commit 100b7d8

This issue is still not resolved in the v0.4.7 for me unfortunately.
