air doesnt reloading in the deeper path

[dpurbosakti]

only work at this path /mnt/d/belajar/be/go/moko/simple-bank but when i edited some file in the /mnt/d/belajar/be/go/moko/simple-bank//api/account.go air doesnt reloading

is there any way to solve this by changing .air.toml ?

[fourstepper]

Could you create an example project that shows this issue between two different directories and push it to another repository on Github?

[dpurbosakti]

@fourstepper https://github.com/dpurbosakti/techschool_simplebank you can check it here main.go is works fine, but file in the deeper dir isnt working(air doesnt check if file is changed)

[fourstepper]

This is caused by you explicitly including "api", I am pretty sure, in your .air.toml - https://github.com/dpurbosakti/techschool_simplebank/blob/main/.air.toml#L14

It works if you comment this line out

[dpurbosakti]

yes i tried to include api dir to try if its work that way,

but when i comment "include_dir" in .air.toml its still didnt work even the CLI told me they are watching my dir

proof on after edited, no mention about file changed

[dpurbosakti]

tried in several file in different dir still not working, only detect on main.go file

With this change, everything works as expected for me.

[dpurbosakti]

is it maybe because im using WSL ?

[fourstepper]

Can't say, try replicating the bug in another environment

[dpurbosakti]

i've created another repo to check, and it still doesnt work.

[dpurbosakti]

and yes it works on windows but not in WSL

[jtlehtinen]

@dpurbosakti, are you making file edits from a Windows application. There's a known issue in WSL where modifications made from the native Windows environment may not trigger file modification events in the WSL Linux environment.

A workaround is to use polling by adding the following lines to your Air configuration file:

[build]
  poll = true

[dpurbosakti]

oh nice, it works. @jtlehtinen thanks
