xclisten doesn't seem to be picking up file changes

[fatuhoku]

Say I run xclisten -d ipad_air -s MyLovelySpecs. This seemingly picks up the first edit and runs the tests, but does not pick up the rest of the edits. In fact, I have to wait about 3 minutes before it runs the next round of tests.

Why is this?

[fatuhoku]

Well here's a clue. I've got my xclisten producing the command line:

xcodebuild -workspace XXX.xcworkspace -scheme XYZ -sdk iphonesimulator -destination 'name=iPad Air' test 2> xcodebuild_error.log | xcpretty -tc

But I suspected that something wasn't going quite right after the first run. So I ran it twice manually.

result?

$ xcodebuild -workspace XXX.xcworkspace -scheme XYZ -sdk iphonesimulator -destination 'name=iPad Air' test 2> xcodebuild_error.log | xcpretty -tc
........................................
$ xcodebuild -workspace XXX.xcworkspace -scheme XYZ -sdk iphonesimulator -destination 'name=iPad Air' test 2> xcodebuild_error.log | xcpretty -tc
zsh: file exists: xcodebuild_error.log

This is because zsh trying to be clever, protecting you from unintended overwrites. the zsh way of expressing 'overwrite' is >!, as in...

$ xcodebuild -workspace XXX.xcworkspace -scheme XYZ -sdk iphonesimulator -destination 'name=iPad Air' test 2>! xcodebuild_error.log | xcpretty -tc

However, this doesn't really work for bash.

Ah... so I found something that will work with both shells. >| overrides the noclobber option.

As a temporary workaround for xclisten not behaving:

fswatch -o $PROJECT_DIRECTORY | xargs -n1 -I{} xcodebuild -workspace WORKSPACE.workspace -scheme SCHEME -sdk iphonesimulator -destination 'name=iPad Air' test 2>| xcodebuild_error.log | xcpretty -c

Seems to work fine.

@fatuhoku sorry for the delay on this, I was on the vacation.

Do you mind sending a PR?
