    Description

      If you try to watch two paths with the same prefix, the second one is ignored (no signal is emitted). I have seen this behaviour only under macOS (Windows and Linux are not affected).

      To replicate the issue, you can use these paths.
      1. /tmp/pathToWatch
      2. /tmp/pathToWatch2

      If you try to add/remove files inside these paths, the signals will be emitted only for /tmp/pathToWatch.
