MacOSX: TextEdit event inconsistence

[pablomartinezm]

Hi again,

I'm attempting to monitor some TextEdit events on MacOSX and there's an inconsistent event sequence:

1. Create a file:

<FileCreatedEvent: src_path='/text.txt'>

2. Edit + Save the file:

<FileMovedEvent: src_path='/text.txt', dest_path='/text.txt.sb-fc8ad3a6-66GHcO'>
<DirModifiedEvent: src_path='/'>
<FileDeletedEvent: src_path='/text.txt.sb-fc8ad3a6-66GHcO'>

So I end up with no file :/

any help?

Don't you have a FileCreatedEvent at the end?

I have encountered a similar issue. Yes, there is an additional FileCreatedEvent, but for some reason it gets logged before the above three. Here is the output from the LoggingEventHandler while saving changes to "Untitled.txt":

2019-12-10 09:34:50 - Created file: /Untitled.txt
2019-12-10 09:34:50 - Moved file: from /Untitled.txt to /Untitled.txt.sb-b78ef837-68vb68
2019-12-10 09:34:50 - Modified directory: /
2019-12-10 09:34:50 - Deleted file: /Untitled.txt.sb-b78ef837-68vb68
2019-12-10 09:34:50 - Modified directory: /

@samschott, am I right if I say that recent commits fix that issue and #311?

[samschott]

Yes, this should be fixed now. I am currently working an PR to somewhat improve the handling of coalesced events, as noted in #749 there are still a large number of spurious events, but the actual order is correct now.

Fixed with #734 and #750.
