Jekyll watch symlink error

Open vbrown608 opened this issue 9 years ago • 1 comments

I believe this error is happening because of a symlink in the _docs directory. Doesn't seem to be breaking the build, but it would be nice to handle it better.

        Directory: /home/vivian/dev/certbot/_docs/venv/local/bin

        is already being watched through: /home/vivian/dev/certbot/_docs/venv/bin

https://github.com/guard/listen/wiki/Duplicate-directory-errors makes it sound difficult to fix.

Easiest thing I can think of would be to create a new top-level directory for the project, and put anything that jekyll doesn't need to watch up there.
