Make a compatibility layer on Pulsar's "pathwatcher"
Remove the binary dependency on "pathwatcher" and a compatibility layer to use Pulsar's public API
The idea was to keep 100% API compatibility with Pathwatcher using Pulsar's public API (using require('atom').watchPath
code). The experiment lives on Pulsar
Pathwatcher repository
Decision Drivers
- Avoid another watch library
- Avoid another binary dependency
Decision Outcome
Because of the cyclic dependency between TextBuffer and Pulsar, together with the "exports" library and other issues, this experiment didn't go far. Some infinite loops happened, sometimes the renderer process crashed, and sometimes other weird issues appeared depending on the order things got loaded, so this will probably be revisited in the future, if at all.
