Sebb created IO-399:
-----------------------
Summary: Tailer does not handle log file rotation properly if
reOpen is true
Key: IO-399
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-399
Project: Commons IO
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Sebb
If the reOpen option is true, the Tailer can currently fail with
FileNotFoundException if a logger renames or deletes an existing file and does
not replace it before the Tailer tries to reopen it following the wait period.
In the case of Windows, the delete/rename can only occur during the wait period
as the file is locked otherwise, but for other OSes the delete/rename may occur
whilst the tailer still has the file open; as far as I can tell, that case is
catered for.
The Tailer should report FileNotFound and wait for the file to reappear.
