failed to identify PDU: n:/usr/local

[mchaput]

1. Installed watchman from homebrew with brew install watchman
2. Did watchman watch /Users/matt/dev/src/houdini/help.documents
3. Tried to do the subscribe example from the readme:

bash-3.2$ watchman -j -p <<-EOT
> ["subscribe", "/Users/matt/dev/src/houdini/help/documents", "mysub", {
> "expression": ["allof",
> ["type", "f"],
> ["not", "empty"],
> ["suffix", "txt"]
> ],
> "fields": ["name"]
> }]
> EOT

Get the following output:

{
    "version": "2.9.3",
    "clock": "c:1395957042:22510:1:2",
    "subscribe": "mysub"
}
1395957383: tid=2066264848 failed to identify PDU: n:/usr/local
1395957383: tid=2066264848 unable to talk to your watchman!

Not sure what /usr/local has to do with anything.

Sounds like a dup of #11
can you try the workaround i mention there?

[mchaput]

I don't see any workaround in that issue?

#11 (comment)

[wez]

sorry, hit enter too soon; you sould add --server-encoding=json to your invocation

I'm closing this one as a dupe of #11
