Automatically restart GulpJS watch when gulp file changes

Question

Lets say I have gulp watch running and I add a file to a task. Is there any way to have the gulp watch process automatically restart since a task has changes?

Answer 1

gulp.watch isn't working for new or deleted files.

In order to accomplish that, you can use gulp-watch plugin: https://www.npmjs.org/package/gulp-watch

var gulp = require('gulp'),
    watch = require('gulp-watch');

gulp.task('live', function () {
    watch({glob: 'global/files/**/*.extension'}, function(files) {
      // Do stuffs
    });
});

This solution comes from this question:
