notify

✓ github.com/rjeczalik/notify

Watch a directory for all filesystem events and print the first event.

package main import ( "log" "github.com/rjeczalik/notify" ) func main() { c := make(chan notify.EventInfo, 1) err := notify.Watch("/tmp", c, notify.All) if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) } defer notify.Stop(c) ei := <-c log.Printf("Event: %s on %s", ei.Event(), ei.Path()) }

Debug

Known issues

gotchaOn Linux, recursive watching is not natively supported; the library emulates it, which may miss events in deeply nested directories.

fix

Use FSEvents (macOS) or ReadDirectoryChangesW (Windows) for reliable recursive watching.
