[Fix] - 2 watchers simultaneously

[Padam87]

Hi,

I've tried to use 2 watchers simultaneously, without much success. Is there any way to do this?

Thanks!

                    src:
                        - { path: [app/cache/dev], files: appDevUrlGenerator.php }
                    task: fosJSRouting
                -
                    type: watch
                    src:
                        - { path: web, files: [*.js, *.css, *.less], recursive: true }
                    task: assetic

hmm... I could move the task and profile configs under the src arrays. Thoughts?

Otherwise, right now, you could have two processes running.

Just took a look at the Watch extension... that could be great. Another idea would be react, but the first is simpler :)

For now, I will use assetic with the built-in --watch param.

Care to expand on React?

https://github.com/reactphp/react/blob/master/examples/child-process.php

Watch tasks could be ran in a non-blocking way, like in the example above, and the main loop could terminate as soon as one of the children does (most likely because of an error)

@Padam87 would this work? http://symfony.com/doc/current/components/process.html#running-processes-asynchronously

[Padam87]

I think so. I did not know that the process component can do this as well :)

[cryptiklemur]

@Padam87 would you want to make a PR?

[Padam87]

I will try to implement it, but first I want to replace ant on my project.
