rsync-auto does not watch symlinked directories, even with polling

[tnguyen14]

In my vagrant setup, I have a synced folder using rsync as such

.
|-- Vagrantfile
|-- shared
    |-- linktofolder -> /Users/tnguyen/myproject

config.vm.synced_folder "shared", "/home/vagrant/shared", type: "rsync"

I have vagrant rsync-auto running. When I make changes in myproject, the changes are not picked up. I have also tried vagrant rsync-auto --poll, but the behavior is still the same.

Is this the expected behavior, or is this a bug? If the former, is there a way to watch for changes through the symlinked folder?

Vagrant version

1.8.1

Host operating system

OS X

Guest operating system

CentOS 6.7

It seems like polling should have worked, from what I can read in guard/listen#25, and I am under the impression that vagrant uses listen?

Closing as this is an issue with the upstream library. Cheers!
