Bug: When WatchStaticMappings=true throws exceptions on updating the mapping files

[muzammilkm]

When WatchStaticMappings = true in settings throws exceptions & application abnormally gets aborted on updating the mapping files while Mock Server is running.

Exception:

System.IO.IOException: The process cannot access the file ''  because it is being used by another process.
 at System.IO.FileStream.ValidateFileHandle(SafeFileHandle fileHandle)
   at System.IO.FileStream.CreateFileOpenHandle(FileMode mode, FileShare share, FileOptions options)
   at System.IO.FileStream..ctor(String path, FileMode mode, FileAccess access, FileShare share, Int32 bufferSize, FileOptions options)
   at System.IO.StreamReader..ctor(String path, Encoding encoding, Boolean detectEncodingFromByteOrderMarks, Int32 bufferSize)

   at System.Threading._IOCompletionCallback.PerformIOCompletionCallback(UInt32 errorCode, UInt32 numBytes, NativeOverlapped* pOVERLAP)

This happens due to editor lock duration while writing to disk(saving). I tried capturing the duration for various editors

VS Code: ~400 ms - ~100 ms
Sublime: ~250ms - ~100 ms
Notepad: ~50ms - ~10ms.

Finding the lock duration & work around for this issue, added in WireMock.Net\Server\FluentMockServer.Admin.cs in ReadStaticMappingAndAddOrUpdate method at line 215:

Stopwatch sw = new Stopwatch();
sw.Start();
while (IsFileLocked(path) && sw.ElapsedMilliseconds < EnhancedFileSystemWatcherTimeoutMs) 
{
}
sw.Stop();
 _logger.Debg("Waited for {0} ms", sw.ElapsedMilliseconds);
if (sw.ElapsedMilliseconds > EnhancedFileSystemWatcherTimeoutMs)
{
    _logger.Error("Abort. waited for {0} ms", sw.ElapsedMilliseconds);
    return;
}

I noticed this also in another scenario. I will check the code...

Should be solved in next preview version at MyGet...

@muzammilkm Can you verify if this works?

[muzammilkm]

Verified.
When can we expect nuget package ?
