Tailing a non-existent file causes the first line to be dropped #11
Description
Steps to repeat:
Write a simple Tail client in the fashion of:
package main
import (
"github.com/ActiveState/tail"
"log"
)
func main() {
t, err := tail.TailFile("/tmp/log", tail.Config{Follow:true, ReOpen:true})
if err != nil {
log.Panic(err)
}
for line := range t.Lines {
log.Printf(line.Text)
}
}
Then, run the program (go run .../test.go). In another window, run echo line1 > /tmp/log and then echo line2 >> /tmp/log.
Expected result:
The Go program should print out two lines, line1 and line2.
Actual result:
The Go program only prints out one line.
