watch.ts is causing ENOENT

[Paladinium]

Running npm start and having all source files watched to make browsersync work, I occasionally encounter errors that terminate the entire gulp process. I assume it's my IDE (webstorm) that may for a short time create temporary files leading to:

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, stat 'somedir/app/some.component.html___jb_tmp___'
at Error (native)

It would be great to have the watch process only watch for a defined set of file types (maybe make it configurable in config/seed.config.ts or config/project.config.ts). I don't have a good solution, but my temporary workaround for this issue results in a change to watch.ts:

// TODO: would be great not to explicitly list ts/html/json/css/whatever here:
plugins.watch([join(APP_SRC, '**/*.ts'), join(APP_SRC, '**/*.html'), join(APP_SRC, '**/*.json')], (e:any) => 
      runSequence(taskname, () => notifyLiveReload(e))
);

Just figured out that it should be possible to disable the temporary file creation of webstorm since another project had the same issue reported: arboleya/coffee-toaster#57

Nevermind, it might be useful to have some kind of restriction for the watch process. What do you think?

The issue seems out of scope for the project. For support questions please ask in gitter, twitter, or stack overflow. I'll be closing this for now to keep the issues down

That's fine, @gdi2290 . I found the solution and would like to share it (taken from arboleya/coffee-toaster#57 (comment)):

It is possible to disable temporary file creation in WebStorm as follows:

• In the [IDE Settings] section of the [Settings] dialog box, click [General].
• Uncheck the [Use "safe write"] check box.

And with Webstorm 2016.1:

• File -> Settings -> Appearance & Behavior -> System Settings -> Uncheck "Use safe write"

Can you add this to the wiki? Thanks!
