[File Watchers] multiple console errors after huge update of git folder

[marcelgerber]

My file watchers just went offline after I made a big update of the brackets-todo cloned folder.

I got multiple console errors, as a result there are no updates of the folder in Brackets any more (not even with Reload file tree!).

Some screens:

Git log

Brackets file tree

It looks like something called "ParseUtils.js" threw an error. Do you have any extensions installed?

[marcelgerber]

ParseUtils.js is part of the brackets-todo extension.

Seems like it might be a bug in that extension - perhaps it isn't compatible with the new filesystem API. Can you try to reproduce with the extension uninstalled?

[marcelgerber]

I couldn't repro it another time yet.
Closing for now.

@SAplayer I think there are actually several issues here -- but none of them is watchers going offline. if that happens you'll explicitly see a warning saying "File watchers went offline!" or "Failed to watch root".

• One issue is that brackets-todo is crashing. That is probably a bug in the extension.
• Another issue is that the project tree is failing to update. That may simply be a side-effect of brackets-todo crashing in such a way that it hoses some important Brackets state. Or it could be some sort of bug in Brackets -- hard to tell without more data.
• The last issue is the "Unable to stat changed path" spam. To the best of my knowledge this is harmless -- though it is confusing and spammy sometimes, so we could spin that off as a low-priority bug.

Spun off #6803 for that last issue.
