Getting events only once. #117
Description
Hi,
I was referring to the below example to get used to this module as I need to watch a repo file and based on events I need to perform certain actions:
Issue:
For testing, I am watching one file "/home/ankit/delta.txt".
The problem is that I receive events only first time if any modification is done to the file /home/ankit/delta.txt but after that I never receive any events, even If I access/remove/modify this file?
Output of my implementation:
2017/06/27 12:02:49 event: "/home/ankit/delta.txt": RENAME
2017/06/27 12:02:49 event: "/home/ankit/delta.txt": MODIFY|ATTRIB
2017/06/27 12:02:49 event: "/home/ankit/delta.txt": DELETE
