'statik --watch' does not monitor project definition modifications

[tombreit]

When running Statik in --watch mode, it does not monitor modifications of the project configuration config.yml (e.g. does not restart HTTP server).

This has been by design from the beginning so far, unfortunately. How often do you make changes to your project configuration?

[tombreit]

No, that's not a problem, I just did not know that this is the expected behavior while working on a navigation_bar static context var in my config.yml. Perhaps a short notice on https://github.com/thanethomson/statik/wiki/Project-configuration would have prevented this notice;-)

[thanethomson]

Yes, that is something that I'd actually like to facilitate in future. It's a tricky feature, so I'll have to put it on the todo list for some point soon when I've got some spare time 😀

Might also be worth monitoring the statik library module to restart the watch process also for us when we are developing. ;)

This probably requires some enhancements to https://github.com/thanethomson/httpwatcher , or using a different http server which allows more granular control over what is watched.
