 Description   

On Windows - When a light module is added to the resources directory during runtime, no files created in that directory will be observed, no definitions will be detected.

When the system is restarted - the contents are observed as normal.

Interestingly, if a symbolic link is added during runtime - any files added to the linked directory are detected and observed as expected.

On OSX light modules added during runtime behave as expected.

(Tested on Windows 7)
Tested on CE bundle downloaded with CLI jumpstart command.

To reproduce

  • mgnl jumpstart - and start magnolia.
  • In light modules directory: mgnl create-light-module simple
  • mgnl create-page page1 -p simple
  • Look in admincentral and note that the page is not available and is not in the definitions app.
