Features

Provides a generic means to watch for file changes and execute a command when changes occur.

The motivation behind this was to trigger file syncronization between multiple directories. Rather than implement syncronization logic, I simply made this generic and chose a command-line sync tool.

Requirements

If you have any requirements or dependencies, add a section describing those and how to install and configure them.

Extension Settings

The following settings are used by this extension:

  • watched-path-autoexec.executable.path : Full path to the executable to be run on file changes
  • watched-path-autoexec.executable.args : Arguments passed to the executable (array)
  • watched-path-autoexec.watched : Array of glob patterns to match for file watching
  • watched-path-autoexec.debug : true to show debug output

Known Issues

So far, only tested on Windows
