[jira] [Commented] (IO-439) FileAlterationObserver should check whether inputFile is a directory

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-439?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17799218#comment-17799218 ] 

Elliotte Rusty Harold commented on IO-439:
------------------------------------------

Why does it have to be a directory? Seems to me if a file is passed in, then it can observe just that one file.

> A FileAlterationObserver class receives a String/File object indicating directory and checks whether this file has changed. It doesn't work if file isn't a directory but no warnings/errors are being thrown.
> I think there should be a check if a given input is a directory.
