Description

Updated to Remote-FTP 2.0.0 and watch folders aren't being watched.
I use watch folders for auto-uploading css files when compiling less files

Steps to Reproduce

These aren't exactly steps but this is the setup that I use

1. Auto Upload On Save or Only when connected
2. Enable Watch File Change checked
3. via 'Less-Autocompile' package or via CodeKit Less Compiler

Expected behavior: file created notification, css and less files uploaded

Actual behavior: file created notification (less-autocompile works), less uploaded but css not uploaded

Reproduces how often: n/a

@johnimperio Try to change File System Watcher type in Settings View > Core > File System Watcher > Native operating system APIs. I use Mac OS Hight Sierra v10.13.1, working perfectly.

@icetee not working for me. High Sierra 10.13.1

In the devtool no logs?
I tried an star (*) charachter, it really did not work. Try skipping joker (*) charachter.

Can you confirm that this is a bug? If yes, I'll figure out something.

[pkimmlinger]

@icetee You're right. Looks like the asterisk will not work anymore. After removing it the watcher works well.

just dropping in to confirm joker not working - discovered this this morning windows 10

Anyone have idea how to fix this asterisk problem? This is important for me.

[icetee]

The fastest you get back older version.

[mdurchholz]

Has there been any updated for the asterisk(*) issue? I currently have to individually list out the files I want the plugin to watch.

[benjamenjohnsondev]

@mdurchholz I don't know about any progress sorry - but as a workaround you can watch whole folders for change and list files you want to ignore in .ftpignore

@benjamenhogben and what if i want to watch all folders inside a folder?
Or do i have to add every folder i want watch?

[benjamenjohnsondev]

@RvWensen test for yourself - I'm pretty sure it watches sub directories but I've not tried it out

[adamgda]

Sadly I use 1.3.4 and wait for problem fix in any newer version.

[icetee]

I close this issue automatically, because a new version was released. If the problem persists, tell me.
