Out of workspace files: Changes from git operations not reflected

[constantincerdan]

As above. I've been testing it out by switching branches in git using terminal and the file does not update. Sublime & Atom do it immediately, but with Code you have to switch out and back into the file in order for it to update.

@constantincerdan on which OS is this? does it work when you edit one of the working files with another editor outside of Code?

I assume the working files are not part of the folder you opened? Or are you not opening a folder at all?

It's on Mac OSX. It doesn't work at all, even when the files are edited using another editor. I haven't opened any folders and have instead opened the file independently.

Weird, works for me. See my recording and maybe see what I need to do different to reproduce:

I just tested it now by changing it in a different editor, and this time it did auto update. However, it still doesn't work when switching branches in git (using Terminal). See my recording below:

I can reproduce and it looks like a bug in node.js: nodejs/node#5039

Apparently this is intended behavior. Maybe chokadir can figure out a fix? I kind of doubt it though...

Hi guys,

this is still happening:

npm -v 3.10.10
node -v v6.11.5
MacOS Sierra 10.12.6

The file.watch is triggering the change only once per file. In windows is working perfectly.

Researched a lot but couldn't find a working solution. Any idea?

Thanks,
Faton
