Drupal Watcher

Description

The Drupal Watcher script is a handy tool that monitors specified directories for file changes within a Drupal project. It automatically clears the Drupal cache using Drush whenever a file is modified, ensuring your Drupal site remains up-to-date and responsive to changes during development.

Installation

  1. Move the Script: Place the drupal_watcher script in /usr/local/bin to make it accessible system-wide:

    mv drupal_watcher /usr/local/bin/drupal_watcher

  2. Navigate to Your Drupal Project Directory:

    cd /Users/user/Sites/drupal-project

  3. Run the Script:

    drupal_watcher

Requirements

  • Operating System: macOS
  • Package Manager: Homebrew

Usage

The script automatically monitors the following directories for file changes:

  • docroot/modules/custom
  • docroot/themes/custom

It requires Drush to be installed in the vendor/bin directory.

Customization

You have the flexibility to customize the directories to watch and the actions to perform by directly editing the script variables within the drupal_watcher file. This customization allows you to tailor the script according to your Drupal project's specific requirements and directory structure.

Notes

  • Executable Permissions: Before moving the script file (drupal_watcher) to /usr/local/bin, ensure it has executable permissions set: 
    chmod +x drupal_watcher
