The simplest way to install `listen` is to use [Bundler](http://bundler.io).
|

|

```ruby
|
43
|

gem 'listen', '~> 3.
|

gem 'listen', '~> 3.3' # NOTE: for TCP functionality, use '~> 2.10' for now
|
44
|
+
```
|
45
|
+
|
46
|
+
## Complete Example
|
47
|
+
Here is a complete example of using the `listen` gem:
|
48
|
+
```ruby
|
49
|
+
require 'listen'
|
50
|
+
|
51
|
+
listener = Listen.to('/srv/app') do |modified, added, removed|
|
52
|
+
puts(modified: modified, added: added, removed: removed)
|
53
|
+
end
|
54
|
+
listener.start
|
55
|
+
sleep
|
56
|
+
```
|
57
|
+
Running the above in the background, you can see the callback block being called in response to each command:
|
58
|
+
```
|
59
|
+
$ cd /srv/app
|

## Changes Callback
|

|
99
|
+
Changes to the listened-to directories are reported by the listener thread in a callback.
|
100
|
+
The callback receives **three** array parameters: `modified`, `added` and `removed`, in that order.
|
101
|
+
Each of these three is always an array with 0 or more entries.
|
102
|

Each array entry is an absolute path.

## Logging and Debugging
|
188
|
+
|
189
|
+
`Listen` logs its activity to `Listen.logger`.
|
190
|
+
This is the primary method of debugging.
|
191
|
+
|
192
|
+
### Custom Logger
|
193
|
+
You can call `Listen.logger =` to set a custom `listen` logger for the process. For example:
|
194
|
+
```
|
195
|
+
Listen.logger = Rails.logger
|
196
|
+
```
|
172
197
|
|
173
|
-
|
198
|
+
### Default Logger
|
199
|
+
If no custom logger is set, a default `listen` logger which logs to to `STDERR` will be created and assigned to `Listen.logger`.
|
174
200
|
|
175
|
-
|
201
|
+
The default logger defaults to the `error` logging level (severity).
|
202
|
+
You can override the logging level by setting the environment variable `LISTEN_GEM_DEBUGGING=<level>`.
|
203
|
+
For `<level>`, all standard `::Logger` levels are supported, with any mix of upper-/lower-case:
|
204
|
+
```
|
205
|
+
export LISTEN_GEM_DEBUGGING=debug # or 2 [deprecated]
|
206
|
+
export LISTEN_GEM_DEBUGGING=info # or 1 or true or yes [deprecated]
|
207
|
+
export LISTEN_GEM_DEBUGGING=warn
|
208
|
+
export LISTEN_GEM_DEBUGGING=fatal
|
209
|
+
export LISTEN_GEM_DEBUGGING=error
|
210
|
+
```
|
211
|
+
The default of `error` will be used if an unsupported value is set.
|
176
212
|
|
213
|
+
Note: The alternate values `1`, `2`, `true` and `yes` shown above are deprecated and will be removed from `listen` v4.0.
|
177
214
|
|
178
|
-
|
215
|
+
### Disabling Logging
|
216
|
+
If you want to disable `listen` logging, set
|
217
|
+
```
|
218

Listen.logger = ::Logger.new('/dev/null')
