Multiple Tailers Issue? about tail HOT 4 CLOSED

multiple tail sessions should work of course as we do exactly the same in our own product. i checked out your branch multi_tail and ran go test which passes without any issue.

multiple tail sessions should work of course as we do exactly the same in our own product.

snipped from our internal code:

    tailers := []*tail.Tail{}
    [...]
    for name, logfile := range logFiles {
        t, err := tail.TailFile(logfile, tail.Config{
            Follow:      true,
            ReOpen:   true})
        if err != nil {
            log.Fatal(err)
        }
        tailers = append(tailers, t)
    }
    for _, tail := range tailers {
        err := tail.Wait()
        if err != nil {
            log.Errorf("Cannot tail [%s]: %s", tail.Filename, err)
        }
    }

The Lines channel will be read by separate goroutines.

Thanks for the info and trying it, let me try some more investigation, im running it on Ubuntu13.04 x64 (Inotify) and getting failure on that MultiAppend test (tried on laptop + desktop)::

$ go test -run Multi
--- FAIL: TestMultiTailAppend (0.15 seconds)
tail_test.go:316: tail ended early; expecting more: [more data]
FAIL
exit status 1
FAIL    github.com/ActiveState/tail 0.157s

Upon investigation, this turned out to be unrleated, I found the issue #9
