Ivan Kurnosov created IO-460:
--------------------------------
Summary: Tailer should not seek to the last line in case if file
was just created
Key: IO-460
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-460
Project: Commons IO
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Utilities
Affects Versions: 2.4
Reporter: Ivan Kurnosov
If Tailer did could not open file on its first attempt - it means the file did
not exist yet hence when the file finally appears it must not be seeked to the
end even if the `end` argument is set.
Otherwise the lines that are added withing waiting timeout are not captured by
Tailer.
I find this behaviour wrong, since if a file did not exist on a moment of
running Tailer thread - then it must capture every line from the beginning.
Thoughts?
