Panic on changing a watched file

[jschilperoord]

I am using confd 0.16.0 (Git SHA: 7217b0ca, Go Version: go1.10.2) inside a Centos 7 container with the file backend in watch mode:

confd -watch -backend file -file /etc/confd/yaml/config.yaml

Changing the yaml generates the following error/panic:

panic: send on closed channel goroutine 11 [running]: github.com/kelseyhightower/confd/backends/file.(*Client).watchChanges.func1(0xc4201e59f0, 0xc42027ea20, 0xc42027e0c0, 0x0, 0xfc6000001a4) /go/src/github.com/kelseyhightower/confd/backends/file/client.go:122 +0x1f7 created by github.com/kelseyhightower/confd/backends/file.(*Client).watchChanges /go/src/github.com/kelseyhightower/confd/backends/file/client.go:111 +0xb1

Look similar to #715. But I assume I am using the most recent confd ?

Hitting this too. If anyone is able to use the file watching feature, can you post a working config?

Run into this issue as well for Docker mounted files. As a workaround you can pass the poll interval explicitly (ex. confd -backend=file -file=/config.yaml -interval 1)

bump this too. is it 0.17 milestone as #715 ?
