[jira] [Commented] (IO-450) File doesn't end with blank line and cann't get the last line using Tailer!

["Benedikt Ritter (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-450?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14551178#comment-14551178 ] 

Benedikt Ritter commented on IO-450:
------------------------------------

The documentation says 

bq. Simple implementation of the unix "tail -f" functionality.

How does {{tail -f}} behave in the case of a missing EOL in the last line? Tailer should behave the same way IMHO.

> I use Tailer to read file, I can't get the last line if the file doesn't end with a blank line!
> My file like as following:
> AAAAAAAAAAAA
> BBBBBBBBBBBB
> And Not end with a blank line, "BBBBBBBBBBBB" is the last line, When I use io.input.Tailer to tail the file, I cann't get the last line "BBBBBBBBBBBB"!
> All  versions(2.3/2.4/2.5) of Commons-IO have the same problem!
