air not working when project directory is a symlink #531
Description
Hi, it seems that air is unable to watch files when accessing the project through a symlink. Here are the steps to reproduce the problem:
$ mkdir project
$ cd project
$ cat > main.go <<EOF
package main
func main() {
for {}
}
EOF
$ go mod init project
$ air
__ _ ___
/ /\ | | | |_)
/_/--\ |_| |_| \_ v1.49.0, built with Go go1.21.6
mkdir /tmp/tmp.nE9SAKeGRq/project/tmp
watching .
!exclude tmp
building...
running...
^Ccleaning...
see you again~
$ cd ..
$ ln -s project symlink
$ air
__ _ ___
/ /\ | | | |_)
/_/--\ |_| |_| \_ v1.49.0, built with Go go1.21.6
mkdir /tmp/tmp.nE9SAKeGRq/symlink/tmp
building...
running...
^Ccleaning...
see you again~
As you can see, when cding into the symlink file, air doesn't print the watching . message, and indeed doesn't watch for file updates.
How can I solve this issue? Thanks!
