On macOs not all changes are picked up

Hi,

I have been playing with the file-events 0.22-milestone-10 and I didn’t understood why changes in an intellij log file wasn’t picked up with my code, so I ran the test-app code, but the problem appears to be the same.

So I’m trying to watch changes in this file /Users/bric3/Library/Logs/JetBrains/IntelliJIdea2020.3/idea.log, I ran net.rubygrapefruit.platform.test.Main.main with /Users/bric3/Library/Logs/JetBrains/IntelliJIdea2020.3 as it seems the macOs file event watcher cannot wath specific files. But the watcher do not pick up changes, while running a simple tail works as expected.

Howver I noted that if I modify the file myself, changes aredetected and reported to the handler.

echo test >> /Users/bric3/Library/Logs/JetBrains/IntelliJIdea2020.3/idea.log

Yes, we should definitely document this once we add a public API and documentation to the feature.

BTW, if you have more questions, we have a #file-system-watching channel on the Gradle community Slack here: https://gradle-community.slack.com
