Word of advice, I recently found out that the inotify implementation is broken on WSL! I wrote an application that works fine on linux, detecting when a file is updated, or deleted or created if I monitor the folder it’s in.
However, on WSL, once the file is deleted, I get no further events for that file in the monitored folder.
So while WSL works quite nice, how they could break something as fundamental as that without a big red flashing warning label is beyond me.
