Watchfiles does not report changes made by a different user in a directory #241
Comments
It would be helpful if you could include which OS you're using and any other details. It might be fixed by setting |
|
Is it fixed by using force polling. |
Yes, it seems be working ok if I do os.environ['WATCHFILES_FORCE_POLLING'] = '1' run_process(...) |
Okay, well then it's a limitation of either the notify crate, or more likely the OS notifications system. Happy to accept a PR to add |
I launch watchfiles to observe a directory path /a/b/c as userA. If userA adds/removes a file in /a/b/c, watchfiles can detect changes just fine. However, if userB puts a file in /a/b/c, watchfiles just ignores those. Is there some setting/mechanism thereby which, I can tell watchfiles to detect any changes irrespective of which user added/removed files? Thanks.
