RegExpWatcher about watchfiles HOT 1 CLOSED

Hi, thanks for the question.

Regarding RegExpWatcher, it seems to be working fine for me, here's an example that matches any file ending .txt:

from watchgod import watch, RegExpWatcher

for changes in watch('./tests', watcher_cls=RegExpWatcher, watcher_kwargs=dict(re_files=r'.*\.txt', re_dirs='.*')):
    for status, location in changes:
        print(status, location)

Unfortunately, the re_files and re_dirs arguments are both required which they shouldn't be, but other than that it's all working.

Another thing, yesterday when I was monitoring a directory with watchgod, I noticed that it suddenly began to report all the files being in that certain directory. But those files were not modificated, created, copied, etc during the monitoring time.

I haven't seen this before, if you get the issue again and can explain it please create an issue with OS details etc.

from watchfiles.
