Can you explain what are you trying to do here? I'm afraid I'm having trouble following.

I'm trying try to eliminate the overlapping parts between two threads (regeneration and api server).

Does incremental regeneration call any methods from site.process ? If so, calling them again after writing to a file might cause a confusion. Do we really need to call all methods of site.process, rather than just a few ones that are really necessary for the API ? Because when I use only site.read, everything seems to work.

The if statement there is for tests to pass.

@parkr See #289 (comment) for context. Is the race condition in the write? In the read? In the generate? Any way to unthread things? We need to write and generate so previews work.

This isn't really a race condition in the traditional sense. We boot up a Watcher from jekyll-watch which runs site.process every time a file saved. The issue here appears to be: if opts["watch"] && opts["serving"] are passed to Jekyll, then the watcher in another thread runs site.process and you're also trying to run site.process at the same time and it can cause confusion. I think if there's another Jekyll process running, the call to site.process is not necessary here at all. Can you get away with just calling site.read?

Will that introduce a race condition if the file isn't yet written to disk?

Yeah, I encountered that once but comparing with the current version, this is an improvement 😄

What if, instead, we disable watch and manually call site.process (which should then be blocking). As of right now, each write will require two reads (and I believe now, two full processes).

That makes sense. However I have no idea how to disable it.

@parkr any bright ideas? We'd need to force watch to false. Perhaps the same way we do for the Pages gem?
