Watching a particular file triggers IN_IGNORED about node-inotify

[c4milo]

I would have to see more code to say something more accurate about it, but my guess is that the watched file was either deleted from your hard drive or you explicitly called inotify.removeWatch(watch_descriptor) somewhere.

Actually I'm using the code from example.js , except that I'm specifying a file to watch instead of a directory. I don't think the file is getting deleted , and neither is removeWatch being called anywhere. Any ideas ?

what version of nodejs are you using?

I was earlier on 0.4.4 . I upgraded to 0.4.8 and the issue still exists.

alright, I finally could test this and It's working fine for me. I am able to watch file.txt, I am opening it with nano, writing, closing, etc and everything seems to be okay. What are you using to modify your file? are you using GIO directly or some gnome application that uses it? it seems as the file is being deleted somehow.

details of my environment:
ubuntu 11.04
nodejs 0.4.8
npm 1.0.10
inotify 0.1.6

closed since I couldn't confirmed this issue and neither the user answered back.
