Live reload broken on everything apart from the content directory

[David-Else]

What version of Hugo are you using (hugo version)?

hugo v0.133.0-c9777473d1369f812d727a6c07dc57ad7be7bf62+extended linux/amd64 BuildDate=2024-08-17T19:57:41Z VendorInfo=gohugoio

Does this issue reproduce with the latest release?

Yes, and also in v0.128.2

I have tried hugo server and hugo server --disableFastRender.

I have created a site using the new built in default theme and modified it a bit. When I change any of my markdown in the content folder it updates at once. When I change something in the layouts i need to press f5 to see the change. When I update something in the partials dir nothing changes AND I need to stop and start the server to see a change.

I have made a repo for you to test the bug https://github.com/David-Else/hugo-bugtest

As an example, run hugo server and try to edit any text in partials/footer.html. Not even an f5 will show the changes, but hugo server says:

Change detected, rebuilding site (#1).

Template added /partials/footer.html
Web Server is available at http://localhost:42589/ (bind address 127.0.0.1)

I have tried to integrate tailwind in a very basic way, but I don't think that has anything to do with this problem as it is not just styles that are not updating, but text from the HTML templates. Thanks!

I noticed you have a directory content/mastering-the-helix-editor-udemy-course.

Are you using helix editor when testing? If yes, see: https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/issues/12677
