Multiple Tailers Issue?

[araddon]

I have been trying to tail multiple files, and not getting responses on 2nd (...n) files. Unit test here, possibly im doing something else wrong, and poked around trying to fix underlying issue but didn't immediately come to me so thought I would drop this test in case anyone else sees it.

multiple tail sessions should work of course as we do exactly the same in our own product. i checked out your branch multi_tail and ran go test which passes without any issue.

snipped from our internal code:

    tailers := []*tail.Tail{}
    [...]
    for name, logfile := range logFiles {
        t, err := tail.TailFile(logfile, tail.Config{
            Follow:      true,
            ReOpen:   true})
        if err != nil {
            log.Fatal(err)
        }
        tailers = append(tailers, t)
    }
    for _, tail := range tailers {
        err := tail.Wait()
        if err != nil {
            log.Errorf("Cannot tail [%s]: %s", tail.Filename, err)
        }
    }

The Lines channel will be read by separate goroutines.

Thanks for the info and trying it, let me try some more investigation, im running it on Ubuntu13.04 x64 (Inotify) and getting failure on that MultiAppend test (tried on laptop + desktop)::

$ go test -run Multi
--- FAIL: TestMultiTailAppend (0.15 seconds)
tail_test.go:316: tail ended early; expecting more: [more data]
FAIL
exit status 1
FAIL    github.com/ActiveState/tail 0.157s

Upon investigation, this turned out to be unrleated, I found the issue #9
