In fact I had already tried that syntax without any success. Further tests showed that in fact I am able to "watch" a file if it's in the same folder as my application, ie, if the path that I add to the watcher is just the name of the file with no other folder/levels.
As soon as I try to watch a file elsewhere, it simply does nothing ...
