Working great on Ubuntu, but not on Windows

First of all - I love this code. Thank you so much for creating it. I’m using it to create a live-coding environment to make music with SuperCollider.

I had no problems running jurigged on Ubuntu, but I can’t get it to work on Windows. I tried running it the same way: python3 -m jurigged -v livecoding.py but on Windows it never registers any change in the file when I save. I’m using Sublime on Windows to save. My python version is 3.9.7 and Windows version is 10. Is there a known issue with Windows?

Okay I think its a Windows path issue. It does work but I can only get it to work if I look at the whole directory recursively, i.e. changing this line to:

observer.schedule(self, ".", recursive=True)

I tried many combinations of playing around with slashes and paths but only this seemed to work. Of course its not ideal because now its looking at the whole directory… but it does work

I looked into it, I’m pretty sure the problem is that when watching a file, if the file is deleted and then recreated (which happens with the way some editors save), the watcher emits the deletion event and then stops. So I think it’s sufficient to observe the file’s parent directory instead of the file itself (basically a more fine-grained version of your fix).

I tested with editing the file through vi (which used to not work) and it seems to work, so that’s good.

I also added a --poll <INTERVAL> option, in case that sometimes helps.

I pushed a new version, 0.3.5, with these fixes. Tell me if that does the trick!
