Change Watcher works only once about fava HOT 11 CLOSED

@corani I cannot reproduce this behavior. Do you make the changes on the main beancount file or on an included one?

from fava.

No changes, only thing that might be different is that I'm running with --host 0.0.0.0, not sure if that could make a difference.

On my Mac it works as expected (even with --host 0.0.0.0), but I will try to replicate it on an Ubuntu VM.

I tried to replicate it in a fresh Ubuntu VM with Firefox, but it still works for me. @corani Can you double check if this bug still exists in the current HEAD?

Please feel free to reopen this issue if it is still not working.

from fava.

I'm still seeing this issue, but I'm okay with calling it a problem on my end, until someone else can reproduce it.

OK, thanks!

I may have figured it out. I'm using VIM, and while watching the inotify events, I see that when I save, it generates a MOVE and DELETE. No further events after that (because it doesn't automatically starts listening on the newly created file)

Ahhh, now it makes sense. Thanks for investigating!

Confirmed, if I used a different editor (nano) it works as expected.

The easiest fix seems to be to watch the entire folder where beancount_file is located, though that might generate unnecessary reloads
