Denon does not watch files in subfolders.

Describe the bug denon does not seem to be watching files in subfolders. As I observed my server would restart if I changed files in the root of the folder but not in subfolders.

Here’s my tree . ├── controller │ ├── post_controller.ts │ └── user_controller.ts ├── denon.json ├── deps.ts ├── mod.ts ├── models │ ├── post.ts │ └── user.ts ├── routes │ └── routes.ts └── utils └── db.ts

Expected behavior Changing mod.ts, Denon.json, and deps.ts restarts the server but changing any other file does not.

Setup

• OS: Ubuntu 20.04 on WSL2
• Deno version: 1.1.3
• Denon version: 2.2.0

denon.json

{
  "$schema": "https://deno.land/x/denon/schema.json",
  "scripts": {
    "dev": "deno  run --allow-net --allow-read --unstable --allow-write --allow-plugin  mod.ts",
    "cache": "deno cache deps.ts",
  }
}

In the code I think all the logic you need to work with is on the src/watcher.ts file.

denoWatch() is the default watcher. legacyWatcher() well, it’s the legacy one haha.

I would suggest to you this dev.to article that explains (I haven’t proofread) how a basic file watcher works. And see if it works on your machine.

If you come up with a solution without touching denon’s code you can open a repo and link it here and I will be happy to adapt it to code base.

This is related to #57. You can try to use the legacy option in the configuration, under the watcher options. See more here.
