Grails plugin is not detecting changes in resources

[genuinefafa]

I'm not sure if it is something related with my configuration or what, but I change files and are not detected by wro4j, therefore, they are not recompiled/updated and sent to the browser updated.

I need to restart the application. :(

This is the startup log of my grails app.

First time I access the page, it compiles, then, i see this in the log,

Why wro thinks it should not "watchForChange"?

Fair enough. 

This seems like a workaround and I'm ok with that, but, what is the desirable behavior? I mean, should it (wro) detect changes by default?

The change detection is a configuration driven feature. It is not enabled by default since it has a performance penalty you wouldn't like to have in production environment. On 9 Aug 2013 20:40, "genuinefafa" notifications@github.com wrote:

Ok... What is the point of a debug flag? avoid minifiyng?

[alexo]

There is an explanation on the FAQ page. Basically, it allows enable/fisable some of the features useful only during development. An example is adding minimize request param which allows turning minimization on or off. Another example is api endpoints (reloadCache, reloadModel, etc) which are enabled only when debug is true, since allowing them in production is not secure.. You can also use this flag to apply some customization, like running a processor only in debug mode. On 9 Aug 2013 23:11, "genuinefafa" notifications@github.com wrote:
