Class Method Details

.modified_files(*paths, &block) ⇒ Object

Tracks modified files in the paths that are defined as the source directories. When this function is called, the event listener is triggered for events such as modified, added, and deleted file events. Therefore, the method can put the application to sleep and silently monitor the event process. It watches all files with the extension ‘.*.rb’, where the asterisk means any sub-extension such as ‘.js’.
