Not working for me
I enabled the package and auto refresh for the file using command palette. But the file isn't getting stored in the settings and I don't see the file auto refreshing either.
I just tested the plugin on version 3.2.2 of sublime and it seems to work fine here. Under the View menu, select View Console and see if there are any relevant errors.
The only useful message I see on the console is the following when I go to Preferences > Package Settings > AutoRefresh > Settings - Default & User
Unable to open /Users/lamba/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Packages/Auto Refresh/AutoRefresh.sublime-settings
The plugin doesn't seem to be writing the settings out to the settings file when I enable the package and run the "Remember" for this file command. I don't see the settings file when I check the folder.
I did create user-level settings and those got saved, but it doesn't seem to be helping to auto-refresh the log file I'm working with. The file only refreshes if I tab away and tab back. If I set the following, it works but I don't want the annoying dialog popping up every 2 seconds.
"always_prompt_for_file_reload": false
My Sublime version is 3.2.2 build 3211
Are you making changes to the file in sublime? Because if you are, and you disable always_prompt_for_file_reload, then sublime will not reload the file.
The file only refreshes if I tab away and tab back
That is built-in behavior of Sublime.
No, it's a log file that is constantly being updated by another app and I want it to reload in real-time in Sublime, if possible so I can monitor for certain regex patterns etc.
The bug is not in the settings. The Unable to open message occurs because the settings file doesn't exist, which is normal if you haven't changed any settings.
I've tried, but I can't reproduce this bug, which makes it basically impossible to see where things are going wrong. I'll leave this issue open in case someone else has the same problem.
I had to manually create the files with the default settings for it to work.
