Question

I'm developing a theme for my blog, and I cannot find any way for the changes to be automatically reflected. I thought that hexo server would take care of it, but it seems to only rebuild on changes to markdown posts, not changes to themes.

What is the recommended way to work on a theme? Setting up some sort of a Gulp pipeline that would watch for changes and call hexo serve when it detects them?

Environment & Settings

Node.js & npm version

Node 14.10.1
NPM 6.14.10

Hexo and Plugin version(npm ls --depth 0)

hexo-site@0.0.0 G:\WebstormProjects\genfic-blog
+-- hexo@5.3.0
+-- hexo-asset-pipeline@1.8.0
+-- hexo-generator-archive@1.0.0

The BrowserSync plugin can watch the folder and reload the website if any of the files, including theme files, have changed.

This may be related to the template engine used by the theme. Some engines have a "compile" process and the compiled cache may not be refreshed after a file change
