Cannot update changes on app #62

Closed erperejildo closed 7 years ago

erperejildo commented 7 years ago

My app works as expected but when I do some changes (I was trying html + css changes) this doesn't change after re-deploy.

I do the deploy with pm2-meteor reconfig on a CI (Gitlab).

If I'm not wrong with pm2 you need to run pm2 start app.js --watch to update these changes but I don't know how to manage this with pm2-meteor.

Any ideas?

yes sir (i think i need a better readme) pm2-meteor reconfig -> will not deploy file changes - only deploys env var changes! pm2-meteor deploy -> will deploy file changes but not env var changes! pm2-meteor deploy --reconfig -> will deploy file changes and env changes

Why? : I removed env deployment from simple pm2-meteor deploy bacause most of the time you do only file changes and not env var changes so. (But if you want to restart your app with new env vars you need a hard restart which will mean some down time.) pm2-meteor reconfig is for for the case where you only want to change an env var (like your mongo url changed - but don't want to hit the whole recompile process)

ok, so if I do pm2-meteor deploy --reconfig I'm just updating everything. That's cool. Thanks again!
