Hello there! I am new to RedwoodJS and I am trying to set up my work environment for my first co-op(yay!). When I run “yarn rw dev” my server loads and my browser opens to the default home page. Everything is working great. But when I change any of the code, I do not see the changes reflected in the browser. In the RedwoodJS Blog tutorial, Rob adds a home page and when he goes back to the site he can see the updated homepage. I have to restart my server to see any changes happen. I am using VS Code on Windows 10 and WSL with Ubuntu 20.04(not sure if that matters). Does anyone know why I am having this issue and what I can do to solve it? Thank you
I’l see a class name called “hidden” on that parent div tag. Are you sure you are changing the correct place on the screen? Do you have a sidebar menu that is exposed below a certain screen size? I can see the site refreshing when you save in the video. I found myself having that issue when I was editing something that was not on the screen at the time. Using Chrome Devtools you could inspect that element and see what the code for that button element is.
Thank you for the suggestion. Yes, this is the correct element. It gets updated at the end of the video after the server restart. Here is a video with the homepage as an example. The changes do not appear unless the server restarts. Even if I refresh/clear the cache. https://youtu.be/35DUtLgZgjw?t=86
The problem was that my project was located inside the /mnt/ folder instead of inside the Ubuntu file system. When I move the project there the issue is resolved and updates occur as soon as the files are saved. Thank you @viperfx for the solution!
