When adding svg files to a folder, the task does not start, how to fix it?

Question

css

Good afternoon.
I rummaged everything, but it didn’t work as it should .....
there is a task

// compress svg
gulp.task('svg_compress', function () {
    gulp.src('app/img/icon_svg/*.svg')
        .pipe(imagemin({
            progressive: true,
            svgoPlugins: [{removeViewBox: false}],
            use: [pngquant()],
            interlaced: true
        }))
        .pipe(gulp.dest('app/img/icon_svg/')); 
});

and there is tracking

// revizor
gulp.task('watch', ['browser-sync'], function () {
  gulp.watch('app/img/icon_svg/**/*.svg', ['svg_compress']);
});

The problem is that when I add files to a folder and watch is running, the task does not run and does not minify svg, but when the files are in the folder and I run the task manually, everything works as it should ... why does watch not monitor the addition of new files? Thank you all!

Answer 1

gulp.watch does not know how to keep track of added or removed files. Use gulp-watch
