Looping on Linux about cbt HOT 7 CLOSED

probably requires using the native JDK WatchService when not on OSX. It has the same api, so should be an easy port

from cbt.

Switched from OpenJDK to Oracle JDK. Works fine now.

Scratch that..compiling source is fine. Still happens when build has errors because it just restarts CBT.

can you explain more. Does it loop or not? The library BarbaryWatchService cbt is using is advertised for OSX. I have no idea if it works on other systems, but we can use the JDK buildin one instead then. Somebody would just need to implement that switch.

If there is an error in the "build" file it restarts CBT and tries to recompile every time. If there is an error in the source file the watcher acts as expected.

@ChavXO so just to be clear: Detecting fine changes and reacting to it works on linux? Could you check on windows as well (ideally with and without cygwin)? We should setup CI for that.

And if there is a compile error in CBT itself it keeps looping. This is a known issue, that needs fixing. to do with status codes.

I hear this is not an issue any longer
