Bernd Eckenfels commented on VFS-536:
-------------------------------------
Does it always stop detecting changes after the delete or only if it is
deleted/recreated in-between scan delay?
> DefaultFileMonitor will ignore files forever if directory is deleted and
> recreated
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: VFS-536
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VFS-536
> Project: Commons VFS
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.0
> Reporter: Sam Halliday
>
> We're using VFS2 in our emacs scala ide
> https://github.com/ensime/ensime-server
> Unfortunately, I've just discovered that if we watch a directory, e.g. here
> we are watching the target directory for class files that are created by a
> compiler
>
> https://github.com/ensime/ensime-server/blob/master/src/main/scala/org/ensime/indexer/FileWatchers.scala#L28
> then if the directory is deleted and recreated (as is done by the SBT scala
> build tool!) then monitoring events are ignored forever!
> I can confirm that file watching works fine if individual files are added or
> removed.
