Description
We tried to listen for events on a single file, without the need for watching recursively. However without specifying recursive=True, no events were observed.
Platform: macOS 12.6 & Ubuntu 18.04
Python: 3.9.14
Code to reproduce:
import sys
import time
import logging
from watchdog.observers import Observer
from watchdog.events import LoggingEventHandler
if __name__ == "__main__":
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO,
format='%(asctime)s - %(message)s',
datefmt='%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')
path = sys.argv[1] if len(sys.argv) > 1 else '.'
event_handler = LoggingEventHandler()
observer = Observer()
observer.schedule(event_handler, path)
observer.start()
try:
while True:
time.sleep(1)
finally:
observer.stop()
observer.join()
and launching with: python file.py <path to single file>.
Also using the FSEventsObserver on macOS didn't change the outcome. Only specifying recursive=True did.
