Unhandled 'error' event when deleting directory

[jojobyte]

I get the following error if I delete a directory that is within the directory I am watching. It crashes the node server. I'm on Windows 8 64bit.

events.js:71
    throw arguments[1]; // Unhandled 'error'event

Error: watch EPERM
    at errnoException (fs.js:806:11)
    at FSEvent._handle.onchange (fs.js:824:26)

It happens on both hard delete and deleting to recycle bin, and whether the directory is empty or not.

When using pure fs.watch it does not happen, although oddly fs.watch reports a rename event, not a delete or remove.

Thanks for reporting!

Actually the unhandled error was caused by the fs.watch. Its underlying implemetation varies across platforms as stated in this issue, same problem.

Anyway I've submited a quick patch for this issue by handling the error silenlty. Just do npm update node-watch and hope that will work for your code.
