This fixes issue #510, by keeping the watchers when the task is running (i.e. when
nospawn
is used). Inspawn
mode, the watchers are closed and recreated as before.I have added a test suite in
nospawn_test.js
, which usesgrunt-contrib-copy
. The test creates asource.js
file, which is copied intodestination.js
. Without the fix, the creation ofsource.js
is correctly detected by watch, not the creation ofdestination.js
.The full test suite passes, apart from watch: interrupt, which anyway doesn't work on my platform (raspberry pi2).
Hope that helps!
