flori / file-tail Goto Github PK

After logrotate(copytruncate), file-tail can't read line for a while.
for example:
I tail a system.log using shell tail. after logrotate , it works well.
I tail a system.log using ruby file-tail. after logrotate, sometimes it can't read line for a while

Hi,

Please update the dependencies to ~> tins 0.5.

Thanks,

Hi, I'm wondering if file-tail is Unix + Windows or Unix only?

I think it's because the gemspec was removed for v1.0.5.

Here's what I do:
sudo gem install file-tail
irb
irb(main):001:0> require 'rubygems'
irb(main):002:0> require 'file-tail'
LoadError: no such file to load -- file-tail

Using ruby enterprise edition 1.8.7 on OS X 10.6.2.

via a rewind or self.lineno=0.

For example, I'm using the following monkey patch now

class File; module Tail
  alias old_reopen_file reopen_file
  def reopen_file mode; old_reopen_file(mode); rewind if mode == :top; end
end; end

Hi,

On Debian systems, the test test_tail_change2 has a tendency to fail (on my system, it sometimes passes, but fails about half of the time I would say).
The bug is reported there with version 1.1.1, but happens also with 1.2:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=912249

Here is the output:
