(gulp.watch): Issue with new opt-in symlink

[vikrantpogula]

I think the new opt-in symlink is not usable with gulp.watch. Other tasks seem fine after adding {follow: true}, but gulp watch doesn't trigger its task when I provide {follow: true}. I have illustrated my gulpfile below

Currently doesn't trigger the task 'refresh:scripts'

var watcher = gulp.watch([
  _settings.APP_PATH+'/**/*.js',
  _settings.APP_PATH+'/**/*.jsx',
], {follow:true}, 'refresh:scripts')

Raises Error now, but used to work fine (would watch and trigger 'refresh:scripts')

var watcher = gulp.watch([
  _settings.APP_PATH+'/**/*.js',
  _settings.APP_PATH+'/**/*.jsx',
], 'refresh:scripts')

TypeError: Arguments to path.resolve must be strings

This used to work fine with 4.0 before the opt-in symlink following for blobs.

You are confused on the actual problem here. We no longer support strings as watch tasks. Please review the last few commits on the 4.0 branch to see the changes and new docs. Sorry I can't link things right now, I'm on my phone.

@phated No worries, Thank you !

I just thought so because the actual files I am watching in this particular case are actually symlinks !

I'm going to close this and open a different issue to make that error more apparent. Thanks.
