Inconsistent changes reported about watchfiles HOT 3 CLOSED

Should be fixed in #119, which includes a brief explanation of the problem.

Note, you're not actually deleting files here, but moving them to the Rubbish bin, hence the Modify(Name(From)). If you did a proper delete with Shift + Delete, you'd get a Remove(File) event and this problem wouldn't happen.

from watchfiles.

Please provide:

• What OS you're on. (Looks like ubuntu, but I can't be sure)
• What events are being printed with async for changes in awatch("some dir", debug=True)

Most likely, there lots of events triggered and watchfiles can't successfully clean them up - see:

We already remove "modified" events if a "deleted" or "added" event happens in the same batch, but I don't want to alwasy remove "added" events if a "deleted" occurred in case the file really was added and deleted in the same batch (which is common with short lived files like some of those generated by vim).

But with debug and OS info, we might be able to do slightly more filtering.

What's weird in this example is that path-to-img1.bmp is only added, which looks wrong, are you sure that's what you're seeing?

Hi!
Thanks for your reply.
Yes, I am on ubuntu (specifically 20.04.1).
I reran the experiment with debug=True and these are the following logs:

raw-event: Event { kind: Modify(Name(From)), paths: ["path-to-img0.bmp"], attr:tracker: Some(7750), attr:flag: None, attr:info: None, attr:source: None }
raw-event: Event { kind: Modify(Name(From)), paths: ["path-to-img1.bmp"], attr:tracker: Some(7752), attr:flag: None, attr:info: None, attr:source: None }
raw-event: Event { kind: Modify(Name(From)), paths: ["path-to-img2.bmp"], attr:tracker: Some(7754), attr:flag: None, attr:info: None, attr:source: None }
raw-event: Event { kind: Modify(Name(From)), paths: ["path-to-img3.bmp"], attr:tracker: Some(7756), attr:flag: None, attr:info: None, attr:source: None }
raw-event: Event { kind: Modify(Name(From)), paths: ["path-to-img4.bmp"], attr:tracker: Some(7758), attr:flag: None, attr:info: None, attr:source: None }
Change.deleted path-to-img2.bmp
Change.added path-to-img1.bmp
Change.added path-to-img3.bmp
Change.deleted path-to-img0.bmp
Change.deleted path-to-img4.bmp

And yes, I am only seeing the addition for path-to-img1.bmp, and interestingly the inconsistencies are kinda deterministic, and seem to always arise in path-to-img1.bmp & path-to-img3.bmp.
