All Checks are Passing
3 Passing Tests
This package was rejected on 29 Aug 2021. The reviewer chocolatey-ops has listed the following reason(s):
watchexec
Software development often involves running the same commands over and over. Boring!
watchexec
is a simple, standalone tool that watches a path and runs a command whenever it detects modifications.
Example use cases:
- Automatically run unit tests
- Run linters/syntax checkers
Features
- Simple invocation and use
- Runs on OS X, Linux and Windows
- Monitors current directory and all subdirectories for changes
- Uses most efficient event polling mechanism for your platform (except for BSD)
- Coalesces multiple filesystem events into one, for editors that use swap/backup files during saving
- By default, uses
.gitignore
to determine which files to ignore notifications for - Support for watching files with a specific extension
- Support for filtering/ignoring events based on glob patterns
- Launches child processes in a new process group
- Sets the following environment variables in the child process:
- If a single file changed (depending on the event type):
$WATCHEXEC_CREATED_PATH
, the path of the file that was created$WATCHEXEC_REMOVED_PATH
, the path of the file that was removed$WATCHEXEC_RENAMED_PATH
, the path of the file that was renamed$WATCHEXEC_WRITTEN_PATH
, the path of the file that was modified$WATCHEXEC_META_CHANGED_PATH
, the path of the file whose metadata changed
- If multiple files changed:
$WATCHEXEC_COMMON_PATH
, the longest common path of all of the files that triggered a change
- If a single file changed (depending on the event type):
- Optionally clears screen between executions
- Optionally restarts the command with every modification (good for servers)
- Does not require a language runtime
Anti-Features
- Not tied to any particular language or ecosystem
- Does not require a cryptic command line involving
xargs

In cases where actual malware is found, the packages are subject to removal. Software sometimes has false positives. Moderators do not necessarily validate the safety of the underlying software, only that a package retrieves software from the official distribution point and/or validate embedded software against official distribution point (where distribution rights allow redistribution).
Chocolatey Pro provides runtime protection from possible malware.

watchexec has passed automated validation. It may have or may still fail other checks like testing (verification).
NOTE: No required changes that the validator checks have been flagged! It is appreciated if you fix other items, but only Requirements will hold up a package version from approval. A human review could still turn up issues a computer may not easily find.
Guidelines
Guidelines are strong suggestions that improve the quality of a package version. These are considered something to fix for next time to increase the quality of the package. Over time Guidelines can become Requirements. A package version can be approved without addressing Guideline comments but will reduce the quality of the package.
chocolatey-ops (reviewer) on 11 Jul 2021 03:42:53 +00:00:
watchexec has passed automated package testing (verification). The next step in the process is package scanning.
Please visit https://gist.github.com/be59de365d6f07c7696d3cc18cf59408 for details.
This is an FYI only. There is no action you need to take.

We've found watchexec v1.16.2 in a submitted status and waiting for your next actions. It has had no updates for 20 or more days since a reviewer has asked for corrections. Please note that if there is no response or fix of the package within 15 days of this message, this package version will automatically be closed (rejected) due to being stale.
Take action:
If your package is failing automated testing, you can use the chocolatey test environment to manually run the verification and determine what may need to be fixed.
Note: We don't like to see packages automatically rejected. It doesn't mean that we don't value your contributions, just that we can not continue to hold packages versions in a waiting status that have possibly been abandoned. If you don't believe you will be able to fix up this version of the package within 15 days, we strongly urge you to log in to the site and respond to the review comments until you are able to.

Unfortunately there has not been progress to move watchexec v1.16.2 towards an approved status within 15 days after the last review message, so we need to close (reject) the package version at this time. If you want to pick this version up and move it towards approval in the future, use the contact site admins link on the package page and we can move it back into a submitted status so you can submit updates.
Status Change - Changed status of package from 'submitted' to 'rejected'.
