Sarankumar Baskar commented on IO-439:
--------------------------------------
[~ggregory] I looked at the current implementation and comments. The class
Javadocs say directory, but comments suggest observing a single file may be
intended. Should IO-439 be fixed by rejecting non-directory roots, or by
documenting/supporting file roots?
> FileAlterationObserver should check whether inputFile is a directory

> A FileAlterationObserver class receives a String/File object indicating
> directory and checks whether this file has changed. It doesn't work if file
> isn't a directory but no warnings/errors are being thrown.
> I think there should be a check if a given input is a directory.
