Some platforms (notably years-broken Docker Desktop) don't reliably notify of file modifications. It's caused a problem that guard-rspec is one of the few guards that does not run on file additions.
I haven't been able to find a reason that guard-rspec doesn't run on additions. In #391 it's discussed without any detractors.
There seems to be no downside to running on both file additions as well as modifications. For those running on macOS with Docker Desktop and listener, it seems to be necessary.
A workaround I've seen is adding the following to the
Guardfile:Guard::RSpec.class_eval { alias_method :run_on_additions, :run_on_modifications }But I would rather not continue to have to work around this shortcoming, especially when the fix seems to have no downside.
