observer dies randomly

[jacobthetechy]

I'm observing a log file on Windows 7 machine. And randomly the observer will die with no error raised. This would happen within a couple of days of watching the file.

I've used the normal Observer() and PollingObserver() with no difference. I'm subclassing the PatternMatchingEventHandler and watching a single file.

Is there a way to find out what cause the observer to die? And is there a way to restart it once it dies?

the error is here:

https://github.com/gorakhargosh/watchdog/blob/master/src/watchdog/observers/api.py

no exception handling when queue_events fails, and nothing is watching when the emitter drops out.

both polling and non-polling can have issues at event queue time.

easiest probably just to catch an error there, and emit something. then the user can at least handle it appropriately

This kind of thing might make it recoverable: https://github.com/gorakhargosh/watchdog/pull/738/files
