Hi all- I am having trouble running "foundation watch" . It was working normal and stopped working when I reloaded after adding new folder to update build. Its not working since then. I have already tried updating npm, reinstalling foundation, updating bower and gulp. anything possible but still not working.

this is the error i am getting Users\Harjot\Desktop\trekker>foundation watch module.js:328 throw err; ^

Error: Cannot find module 'C:\Users\Harjot\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\foundation-cli\bin\foundation.js' at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:326:15) at Function.Module._load (module.js:277:25) at Function.Module.runMain (module.js:430:10) at startup (node.js:141:18) at node.js:980:3

Try restarting the computer. Also make unsure the file exists at the address it describes the error.

I had this same problem (on Windows, running the new version of Foundation for Apps).

Whenever I wanted to close and run foundation watch again, I had to first close the browser window that was displaying my app. I think it is because there will be a running process looking for changes to reload the page, and it's separate from the gulp tasks used to update files.

So, the process is:

  1. Create new file
  2. Close browser window that has the app open in it
  3. Stop the watch command by pressing Ctrl + C (maybe even twice, quicker than Ctrl + C then Y and Enter)
  4. Start the watch command with foundation watch again (it should open a new browser tab automatically when you do this).
