On Linux, manually polling is not needed. Have you looked into inotifywait or something like https://github.com/xyproto/recwatch?

Switchboard is a neat idea!

As a user, I want to be able to configure and watch for specific event types. For example, I should have the ability to watch for CREATE events specifically that match a file extension/pattern, or DELETE events as example.

Allow user to specify regex pattern of a file/event to watch for.

The latest version of fsnotify is 1.7.0 yet switchboard is a custom version on github.com/Cian911/fsnotify v1.5.2-0.20220220230351-4d6a6a3b3090.

We should update to the latest version in our custom fork to reap the benefits of recent updates. This should be replicated to pro as well.

Each watcher should have a changeable priority which would denote which watcher should process an event in the case that multiple watchers match the same event. Take the example below.

I have the following config for switchboard:

pollingInterval: 10
watchers:
  - path: "/home/cian/Downloads"
    destination: "/home/cian/Documents"
    ext: ".txt"
  - path: "/home/cian/Downloads"
    destination: "/home/cian/Documents/Reports"
    ext: ".txt"
    pattern: "(?i)(financial-report-[a-z]+-[0-9]+.txt)"
  - path: "/home/cian/Downloads"
    destination: "/home/cian/Videos"
    ext: ".mp4"

In the event that I save a txt file that matches the first two watchers, we encounter a race condition between the two as to which will process the event first.

I propose adding a priority attribute to switchboard which will denote the order in which events should be processed by watchers, should multiple watchers be capable of matching the same event. A new config might look like this:

pollingInterval: 10
watchers:
  - path: "/home/cian/Downloads"
    destination: "/home/cian/Documents"
    ext: ".txt"
    priority: 1
  - path: "/home/cian/Downloads"
    destination: "/home/cian/Documents/Reports"
    ext: ".txt"
    pattern: "(?i)(financial-report-[a-z]+-[0-9]+.txt)"
    priority: 2

1 in this case should be the lowest priority, which all watcher will default to, and a higher priority ascending from that 2, 3, 4...

When a folder is created in a watched directory, it does not trigger an expected event, even though the folder contains the watched file type.

Add support for conditional logging - User should be able to choose the log level they want for switchboard via a flag passed to the watch command.

As example:

switchboard watch --config -log verbose

Loging should be disabled by default otherwise - this remove all the noise when being run.

Add test case for this too in specs.
