No live reloading #3

Closed JimiJonJimbo closed 9 years ago

JimiJonJimbo commented 9 years ago

When I make changes to my .jade files, I have to restart my project in order to see the changes (just refreshing the page in the browser doesn't work). I have set spring.jade4j.caching to false but it doesn't help. Is live reloading broken?

Thanks!

Which building tool are you using?

JimiJonJimbo commented 9 years ago

Gradle.

In order to reload the changes to jade templates you need some mechanism to watch for the changes.

The showcase is using the Gradle Watch plugin

Please checkout the showcase code
in a terminal in the directory where you checkout the code, execute gradle bootRun
open a new terminal and execute gradle watch
Now you can change the jade templates and then see the updates in the browser.

The dynamic reloading of jade templates is out of scope of this SpringBoot starter

gradle watch was the missing step for me. Thanks!
