Mjml: cli not watching multiple files?

[tobystokes]

I find that if I use a glob pattern in my input, then watch reports it is watching [the first matching file] but doesn't appear to do so.

Example:

mjml src/emails/*.mjml --output dist/emails -> this builds all the input files.

mjml --watch src/emails/*.mjml --output dist/emails - > This does initially generate the files, but reports: Now watching: src/emails/firstfile.mjml but doesn't then watch for changes on that or any other file.

mjml --watch src/emails/singlefile.mjml --output dist/emails -> watches a single file as expected.

Hi @tobystokes
It's a cli bug, MJML 4 should fix that issue ;)

A workaround:

  "scripts": {
    "start": "nodemon -e mjml node_modules/.bin/mjml -r src/*.mjml -o dist/", // use nodemon
    "build": "mjml -r src/*.mjml -o dist/"
  },

Hi @tobystokes

Latest allow you to watch multiple files ( if you're using zsh you have to escape the wildcard char *) !
Feel free to open an issue if you find some bugs with it 👍
