config.js file watching broken on OSX

[ciaranj]

commit: 19814bd appears to break OSX . The API call appears incorrect. Could be down to the version of node.js I'm using, but fs.watch takes function( event, filename_) [filename_ not present in OSX incidentally] not function( curr, prev ) as fs.watchFile does.

This means I see the following errors:

/Users/ciaran/Documents/Development/statsd/lib/config.js:25
    if (curr.ino != prev.ino) { self.updateConfig(); }
                        ^
TypeError: Cannot read property 'ino' of null
    at FSWatcher.Configurator (/Users/ciaran/Documents/Development/statsd/lib/config.js:25:25)
    at FSWatcher.EventEmitter.emit (events.js:96:17)
    at FSEvent._handle.onchange (fs.js:826:12)

Now, I would provide a patch to fix it, but since the commit that introduces the changes gives no hints as to what was being fixed, I can't make sure that it remains fixed.

If I had to guess I'd say this is broken for everyone, but on Windows & Linux the second argument (filename) does actually exist so prev.ino resolves to undefined, rather than trying to find .ino on undefined as in my case (OSX)

please provide the version of node.js that is installed on your system

v0.8.12, also I meant to include this link previously:

(sorry)

It was changed in pull request #145, because fs.watchFile is not available on windows.
But you're right. The callback function needs to be changed accordingly.

I'd suggest:

fs.watch(file, function (event, filename) {
    if (event != 'rename') { self.updateConfig(); }
});

I've submitted a pull request with @peschuster ' s suggested fix.
