Please describe the issue that occurred.
Under macOS, fsnotify follows symlinks on watched directories and produces notifications for changes to files residing on directories pointed by the symlink.
Are you able to reproduce the issue? Please provide steps to reproduce and a code sample if possible.
- The usual watcher / logger:
package main
import (
"log"
"github.com/fsnotify/fsnotify"
)
func main() {
watcher, err := fsnotify.NewWatcher()
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
defer watcher.Close()
err = watcher.Add("/tmp/bug")
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
for {
select {
case ev := <-watcher.Events:
log.Printf("Got event %+v", ev)
}
}
}
Operations to perform:
mkdir /tmp/bug
mkdir /tmp/other
ln -s /tmp/other /tmp/bug/link
touch /tmp/other/somefile
