New watcher doesn't recognize first change to a file

[gaearon]

I have this issue on OS X Yosemite.
First time I save any file, watcher doesn't notice. Subsequent saves work.

It doesn't happen with 1.4.15 + NewWatchingPlugin but happens with 1.5.1.

👍 I also have this issue. For now, when I start working in a file, I'm just adding a comment, saving, and removing the comment. Lame workflow, but it'll work for now :-)

There's a repo to try to reproduce the issue, in case anyone's interested.

Anyone wanting a temporary fix to this issue, simply go to your copy of watchpack and npm install master of chokidar which has the fix. A 1.0.0 release of chokidar is coming soon @es128 says.

cd node_modules/webpack/node_modules/watchpack/
npm i paulmiller/chokidar

This fixed the issue for me and webpack is flying like the wind :-)

I'm seeing this both with webpack 1.5.3 and 1.7.3
