# Objective
- I hit an issue using the `file_watcher` feature to hot reload assets
for my game. The change in this PR allows me to now hot reload assets.
- The issue stemmed from my project being a multi crate workspace
project structured like so:
```
└── my_game
├── my_game_core
│ ├── src
│ └── assets
├── my_game_editor
│ └── src/main.rs
└── my_game
└── src/main.rs
```
- `my_game_core` is a crate that holds all my game logic and assets
- `my_game` is the crate that creates the binary for my game (depends on
the game logic and assets in `my_game_core`)
- `my_game_editor` is an editor tool for my game (it also depends on the
game logic and assets in `my_game_core`)
Whilst running `my_game` and `my_game_editor` from cargo during
development I would use `AssetPlugin` like so:
```rust
default_plugins.set(AssetPlugin {
watch_for_changes_override: Some(true),
file_path: "../my_game_core/assets".to_string(),
..Default::default()
})
```
This works fine; bevy picks up the assets. However on saving an asset I
would get the following panic from `file_watcher`. It wouldn't kill the
app, but I wouldn't see the asset hot reload:
```
thread 'notify-rs debouncer loop' panicked at /Users/ian/.cargo/registry/src/index.crates.io-6f17d22bba15001f/bevy_asset-0.12.1/src/io/file/file_watcher.rs:48:58:
called `Result::unwrap()` on an `Err` value: StripPrefixError(())
note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace
```
## Solution
- The solution is to collapse dot segments in the root asset path
`FileWatcher` is using
- There was already bevy code to do this in `AssetPath`, so I extracted
that code so it could be reused in `FileWatcher`
