Subdirectories are not processed about deadsimple-less-watch-compiler HOT 4 CLOSED

@grandehombre Thanks for this. It'd be great if you can share a zip of the dir structure so I can recreate this problem easily. Let me know.

from deadsimple-less-watch-compiler.

Hi Jony,

Please find attached a ZIP with a test environment for the issue I reported.

Briefly,

• I ran the test.bat file which launches less-watch-compiler
• I created the output dir (dooda) as expected, processing the file in the
  libraries directory
• I did not process the files in the 1140grid directory.
• When I made changes to libraries\fisheye.less, it detected the change and
  recompiled it in real-time.
• However, it did not detect any changes to any files in libraries/1140grid.

I have also attached my modified version of less-watch-compiler that does
traverse through all the subdirectories, as well as a version that
processes js files and minifies them.
Both those files accept a single parameter (the source directory), due to
the fact the the source files can now live in different levels of a dir
tree.
The output files are placed in the same dir as the source files.
My version of the less compiler compiles less-->CSS and then also compressesit.

Feel free to use my modified files as you see fit.
Many thanks for your work, it has been a great help!

Cheers,
Nick

ps: Gmail won't allow batch files in zips. Please rename test.batdooda to
test.bat

Hi Jony,

Since my last email, I've made some more changes to the scripts.
They now both support a 'target' directory.

The js-watch-compile scipt will compile .js files from the source dir and
store the minified result in the target dir, maintaining the directory
structure.

the less-watch-compile script will compile LESS files from the source dir and
store the resulting CSS file in the same dir.
It will then minify the CSS file (in the source dir) and store the result
in the target dir, maintaining the directory structure.

================== how the target dir works
Consider a dir structure as follows

---Source directory tree

here/myDir/js
here/myDir/js/1
here/myDir/js/2
here/myDir/js/3
here/myDir/js/4

--- and we want everything found in there to be minified and copied into
here/myDir/js_min

The code below calculates a relative path to the target, so that it can
copy things into

here/myDir/js_min
here/myDir/js_min/1
here/myDir/js_min/2
here/myDir/js_min/3
here/myDir/js_min/4

Cheers,
Nick

Hi @grandehombre

I have made some significant updates just now to this library and incorporated most of your suggestions here. Thanks again.
