Watch setting triggers over a hundred times on intialization

[scottwhudson]

with the following script:

// Watch: ~/Development/app/spec/**/*.rb
import "@johnlindquist/kit"

console.log(`a spec change detected`)

and running tail -f ~/.kenv/logs/rspec.log in a separate terminal window, I can see that the script fires many times when invoked, even though I haven't touched a file at the watched path. What am I doing wrong here? Does it fire for each file it detects at the given path?

Log output:

Quick question to help me narrow it down: Are you in TypeScript mode?

[scottwhudson]

Not sure, I just installed the Kit app so I presume the default mode is what I'm running, whatever that is.

[johnlindquist]

Ok, thanks. Default is JavaScript mode. Investigating...

[scottwhudson]

Also, my platform is MacOS v12.0.1 and the app version is 1.7.4

[johnlindquist]

Looks like chokidar will allow me to set:

ignoreInitial: true,

https://unpkg.com/browse/chokidar@3.5.3/types/index.d.ts#L89

I believe this will solve your issue. Do you agree?

P.S. - Most of my testing with this was done by creating the script first, then the directory/files, so I never noticed this before. Thanks for letting me know. I'm working on getting a new release out in the next couple of days.

[scottwhudson]

Yep, that makes sense to me. Thanks for chasing this down so fast 👍🏼
