Hello,

Running t7527 on macOS with encrypted APFS filesystem. I observes intermittent failure, however, when I manually check the test cases, they're all passed.

I suspected fileystem caching issue. I added those sync-s into test steps and the test pass. I'm not sure if this is the intending "fix" for the tests since we're testing the fsmonitor with t7527.

Please advise!

P/S: When debugging, I also found out that: "test-tool fsmonitor-client query" doesn't write the final newline character, thus making the output harder to read. The diff also have the final newline added.
