ember CLI - "Could not find watchman, falling back to NodeWatcher for file system events installing"

While using ember CLI, I get this:

version: 0.1.5 Could not find watchman, falling back to NodeWatcher for file system events

I don't really care if it uses watchman or NodeWatcher ... - but I don't love this message - and I would like to use what ember wants me to. I installed watchman with homebrew... but still this message. Any ideas?

I am a version 3.0.0 with watchman - and 0.1.5 with ember.

When I watchman watch ~/sites/mySite

I get this dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/lib/libpcre.1.dylib Referenced from: /usr/local/bin/watchman Reason: image not found Trace/BPT trap: 5

Is this the ol - "brew putting things in unconventional spots" problem?

Solution

  • Your watchman isn’t properly installed. That error message indicates you’re missing libpcre; try running brew install pcre, what happens then?

    As of Ember CLI 0.1.7, there’s no longer a message when a valid version of watchman is found.
