watching newly created files

[Deimoslink]

Greetings!
When I start node-sass in recursive watching mode it works just fine with the exception that newly created files are not being watched.
For example, if I wach a directory and I add new styles.scss file, node-sass ignores this file, providing the process has already been started before.
Is it possible to change this behavior? Or do I just miss something?

I can also reproduce this on OS X Sierra with node-sass@4.5.0.
My command looks like this:

node-sass src/ -o src/ --watch --recursive

Adding src/wow.scss (and saving it multiple times) has no effect until I restart the watcher, at which point it works as intended for this file (but not for any new files).

I also tried removing the --recursive flag but it doesn’t seem to have any effect.

This is a know issue. I'll make a patch in the next release

Specifically the added event does not rebuild the watch graph so the watcher doesn't know the new file exists.

Thanks for such a quick response!

I wonder if you could possibly reconsider #1369 at the same time? I believe it would improve consistency across the board.

With #1369 implemented - all files are guaranteed to be in a compiled state whether they already existed or were created while watching.
Without it - files that already exist are not compiled. Files that are created while watching are compiled. This seems inconsistent and fiddly to manage.

Thanks for your consideration.
