This PR configures the
awaitWriteFinish
setting forchokidar.watch
on Windows. From thechokidar
documentation:The exact settings (
stabilityThreshold: 50, pollInterval: 10
) are based on those used bypostcss-cli
: https://github.com/postcss/postcss-cli/blob/master/index.js#L125-L128When looking into #5753 I observed that occasionally a file read will return an empty string on Windows, even when the file has contents. This can cause new classes to be missed. Configuring
awaitWriteFinish
helps to avoid this by delaying thechange
event until the file size has not change for 50ms. I was not able to reproduce the empty string issue withawaitWriteFinish
configured as per this PR.
