Add an option to follow symlinks

Open gmethvin opened this issue 6 years ago • 4 comments

There should be an option in directory-watcher to follow symlinks and make sure they are handled properly with different configurations.

Hi, does the lib support symlink? The README doesn't clarify if symlink is supported or not.

I've just tried on macOS 13.2.1, and it seems modification event is not emitted when the actual file of the symlink is modified (the symlink itself is not modified).

This issue is still accurate. There is currently no support for following symlinks.

I haven't spent much time looking into it, but if you're interested you're welcome to share your ideas here or submit a PR.
