Hot Reload remembers the last reload if not saved,and will keep printing the task that is not given to it

[davord45]

Hi fian46,i found a bug in hot reload,i tried to print "first" than change it to "second",that worked like in the video,but than i tested i you dont press save it will keep printing "second" with "first" even though first is its parameter.I tried fixing it by saving and it keeps printing the same thing.

[fian46]

did you connect to debugger first ?

[fian46]

it will not working if you not connect to debugger. if so it will hint you with message BT Hot reload in hint bar

[fian46]

the hint message only say saving data so no hot reload performed

[davord45]

Yeah i did that,but it keeps remembering the last action and prints that until i hot reload again,like it almost runs paralel to the startup parameter,yeah im checking when i increase the wait it prints it twice,and when i hot reload it prints twice hot reload message

[davord45]

Yeah it keeps the startup parameter on the first line and the hot reloaded one on the second

[fian46]

Can you upload small reproduce project about this issue ? Also with the step too ?

[fian46]

Also it will reload until you press ctr + s or press save in editor. My bad not tell you that.

[davord45]

I will test it when i get back from lunch,but why does it remember the reload after the runtime is over?

[davord45]

Shouldnt it be going back to what is in tree editor

[fian46]

I am not really sure, i tried to recreate the node in tour screenshot but it not behaving like your case

[davord45]

I recorded the bug in video so that you can see everything https://youtu.be/a0B-qNJP4kU

[davord45]

Now i get it printing first even when i restart the editor,and default is second

[fian46]

Wow that looks bad. Thanks for the report. I will looking for it. But can you send me just the scene and the script ? I need to looking more details.

[davord45]

Here you go,hope you can reproduce it. http://www.mediafire.com/file/pjd41ttpotdeug9/HotReloadBug.zip/file

[fian46]

yeah this is really funny. it looks like your parameter in print is double "first enter first" that is why it print 2 "first" every tick. when you edit "first" to "second" you only change it to "second enter first". i am still consider this as usability problem really, because user still can't really see every parameter value in full. this is not connected to any hot reload problem. but i don't know how to fix it right now. maybe make the text area larger for parameter input ?

[davord45]

How do you mean larger?How would that fix the problem?Does that fix it on your side?

[davord45]

Tried resizing the node if thats what you mean,but it did not fix it

[davord45]

What is a double parameters,how could that be when i only send one parameter?You only have parameters for Strings and Numbers,is this like an array?

[fian46]

No in your scene file the parameter is 0 is "first enter first". Please scroll down your mouse when edit the paramater. The enter is real enter character btw not enter like text. There is 2 line in your parameter 0

[fian46]

First line is "first" and second line is "first" When you edit it you assuming only one line but there is two. And the second line is unedited because you cant see it.

[davord45]

Ah must be because i pressed enter,sorry tried to test it in a rush.

[fian46]

Yes it fixed in my side. Maybe i can upload some video ?

[davord45]

Yeah that was the case,didnt see you have a mini scroll bar on the node

[davord45]

But it still hot reloads twice the first time

[fian46]

That is fine it is design flaw. Maybe for large text input it need some popup to enter the text for better experience.

[davord45]

Actually when i press Save in Editor it does only once,must be a keyboard thing

[fian46]

But it still hot reloads twice the first time

What do you mean ?

[fian46]

Oh that double print hot reload thing. Yes it is some extra unnecessary reload because the editor intercept the same event as the plugins do. It is unfortunate but that will not changed the operation.

[davord45]

It hot reloads on ctrl+s press and release,yeah i guess one frame is not gonna matter as much

[davord45]

Ok i found another issue,when you make two exact same trees only name change,and hot reload a parameter from one it will change it in both.

[fian46]

Yeah that's another issue in id_generator i just realized that can happen. I will look into it tomorrow 😁

[davord45]

Get some rest dude,you deserved it.

[davord45]

You fixed the issue,thanks.
