strange error: File not available

[oupala]

I get a strange error while using metalsmith-watch:

[metalsmith-watch] ✗ Error: File not available: js/app.js

This make the whole watch task not working as the browser is never refreshed.

My js file does not exist any more because it has been minified and fingerprinter as js/app.min-.js

But I wonder why metalsmith-watch is outputting this warning as I only told him to watch for changes in markdown files:

    metalsmith
        .use(watch({
            pattern: '**/*.md',
            livereload: true
        }))
        .use(serve({
            host: '0.0.0.0',
            port: 8080,
            verbose: false
        }));

You must have the uglify plugin in your pipeline. You might want to disable it (along with purifyCSS) when you are in watch mode.

Something like this, using the metalsmith-if plugin

  .use(when(mode != 'dev', uglify({
