System requirements: Docker

1. git clone [email protected]:aitkenster/file-watcher.git
2. Run make build-and-run ( this will create a file-watcher/example directory with watched sub directories.
3. make stop to stop

To use your own folders: Change the WATCHED_FOLDERS env var in the build-and-run command in the Makefile to use your own folders as comma seperated values. Paths can be relative (from the file-watcher folder), or absolute. One watcher node will be generated per folder.

Run make test to run all tests

• When a watcher node restarts after failure, update all the files watched by that node in the aggregated list
• Check for changes within nested folders
• Integration and API tests
• Pagination in the API
