CDEvent underlying FSEvent flags always `isGenericChange`

Question

I'm using this (older) framework: https://github.com/rastersize/CDEvents to track changes on the filesystem.

For some reason the flag is always event.isGenericChange. On the FSEvent level this would be the kFSEventStreamEventFlagNone (code 0).

Maybe this has something to do with the framework being older and missing something that changed? I'm not getting any build/test warnings/errors (installed through CocoaPods).

I'm using this code through a delegate:

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];

    self.events = [[CDEvents alloc] initWithURLs:@[[NSURL URLWithString:@"/Users/username/Desktop/"]]
                                        delegate:self
                                       onRunLoop:[NSRunLoop currentRunLoop]
                            sinceEventIdentifier:kCDEventsSinceEventNow
                            notificationLantency:((NSTimeInterval)0.25)
                         ignoreEventsFromSubDirs:NO
                                     excludeURLs:@[]
                             streamCreationFlags:kCDEventsDefaultEventStreamFlags];
}

- (void)URLWatcher:(CDEvents *)URLWatcher eventOccurred:(CDEvent *)event {
    NSLog(@"Event: %ld", (unsigned long)event.flags);
}

I tried all actions (rename, edit, remove, create, change meta-data, change rights, etc.) and it's always genericChange.

Fixed it by adding the kFSEventStreamCreateFlagFileEvents flag. Because I'm using CocoaPods I'd rather not adjust the source code so instead of placing streamCreationFlags:kCDEventsDefaultEventStreamFlags using these manual flags:

(kFSEventStreamCreateFlagUseCFTypes |
 kFSEventStreamCreateFlagWatchRoot |
 kFSEventStreamCreateFlagFileEvents)

Guess it has to do with some radical changes Apple did sometime in the past. I'm now getting the correct flags and also the full path to a file (not only it's directory).
