sane not detect moved directory

[ggkovacs]

Directory structure:

• example1
• example2
  • text.txt

var watcher = sane('example1', { glob: ['**/*.txt'] });

Sane not detect move example2 to example1.

Which watcher are you using? And what operating system is this?
If you can adda test case for this here and send a pull request I'll be able to address it quickly https://github.com/amasad/sane/blob/master/test/test.js

I wrote a shell script to test a couple interesting cases: https://github.com/nkovacs/sanetest
It watches test/ with glob **/*.txt.
What doesn't work:

• with test2/test3/test.txt, moving test2 into test (the result is test/test2/test3/test.txt, which matches the glob)
  • after this move, writes to test/test2/test3/test.txt are not detected
• with test2/test.txt, moving test2 to test
  • after this move, writes to test/test2/test.txt are detected
• creating test/test2/test3 and then test/test2/test3/test.txt
  • this doesn't work even if there's a delay between creating the directory and the file

This is on linux with node 4, using sane 1.4.0

Almost the same results on osx with node 4 (using nodewatcher), except the following doesn't work either:

• creating test/test2/ and then test/test2/test.txt
  • this works if there's a delay between creating the directory and the file. On Linux it sometimes doesn't work without the delay, looks like a race condition.

I too am finding that sane (@4.1.0) is unable to detect directories moving.

I'm on Mac OSX 10.13.6 and can replicate the issue with either watchman or nodewatcher by moving a folder with watched contents to trash. The watched files in the folder never receive remove events.
