When does this run? Is it exactly once (per path) on startup? What about the scenario where new files are created after we register all these watches?

It will run in async mode as soon as we call the Add method, for the moment I've kept it simple so that this only formats file changes and not the initial formatting, but later this would be the preferred behaviour.

Sorry, I don't think I understand: with the code in this PR, will we start watching files if they're created after the watch starts, or would someone have to restart the watch process to watch those new files?

Oh, I've just understood what you meant. It continuously monitors file system events from the moment it starts, including the creation and update of all files within the specified paths, without the need to restart the monitoring process.

Files detected by the walker are not guaranteed to exist when the format, caching or release funcs kicks in. This code captures the creation of IDE swap and temporary files, but if deleted quickly such saving to file in Neovim will result in a crash with file not found. I'm not quite sure how to fix this at the moment, but it shouldn't be hard to find later. |
