This fixes issue #510, by keeping the watchers when the task is running (i.e. when
nospawn
is used). Inspawn
mode, the watchers are closed and recreated as before.I have added a test suite in
nospawn_test.js
, which usesgrunt-contrib-copy
. The test creates asource.js
file, which is copied intodestination.js
. Without the fix, the creation ofsource.js
is correctly detected by watch, not the creation ofdestination.js
.The full test suite passes on travis, but erratically fails on windows (interrupt).
Hope that helps!
