Do not watch .jekyll-cache

[DirtyF]

Current Jekyll master has a new caching system that stores files in a .jekyll-cache folder

Given I run `bundle exec jekyll serve --incremental`
When I modify a single file
Then I get the following log:

Workaround

Add .jekyll-cache to excluded files in config.

[ashmaroli]

I think it would be better to add the value of site.config["cache_dir"] instead of just .jekyll-cache..

[parkr]

This will become a problem with v4, no?

[DirtyF]

@parkr yup.

Just saw this issue and wanted to share, I'm using this in a plugin to patch it in. v4 but might not matter, "it works on my machine"

require 'jekyll-watch'

module CustomWatcher
  def to_exclude(options)
    config = options.merge(
      "exclude" => Array(options["exclude"]) + [options["cache_dir"]]
    )
    super(config)
  end
end

module Jekyll
  module Watcher
    class << self
      prepend CustomWatcher
    end
  end
end
