Gulp watch task is running multiple times when editing a file with VS Code












0















I just recently switched from Atom to VS Code, and I've been having an issue with my watch gulp task running multiple times when saving.



Some things I've tried:




  • I disabled all extensions, and the issue still occurred.

  • I modified a file in Notepad multiple times, and the issue does not occur.


I'm fairly certain that this is something to do with how VS Code saves files. I did some digging, and I found this SO answer, which indicates that some editors create a "buffer" file before actually writing to the file you've edited, and I've also found this issue on VS Code's GitHub repository that seems to indicate that VS Code may be doing some kind of buffer file thing, but I haven't been able to identify how the files are named (otherwise I'd exclude them from the glob).



I have two possible ideas on how to solve this:




  • How can I tell Gulp.watch() to finish before it starts again?

  • How does VS Code name its "buffer" files, so that I can exclude them from being watched?


Either method above seems like it should work for my purposes, but I'm open to other suggestions as well.





EDIT: I figured out how to resolve this using the first method, but I think the second method would be ideal.
