Hello. This bit me at least 3 times already. I use Forever mostly to restart when files change, so I forget I must explicitly supply -w
/ --watch
. So far, that's solely my fault. However, this can be especially confusing when you do supply --watchDirectory
but forget to supply -w
. Result: Forever just silently ignores --watchDirectory
.
So I propose that:
a) When --watchDirectory
is supplied, --watch
is turned on by default.
b) When --watchDirectory
is supplied but not --watch
, log an error and exit.
c) When --watchDirectory
is supplied but not --watch
, at least show a warning on startup.
I might implement one of those and send a pull request if other people agree either one is a good idea.
Thanks.
