Jekyll `--incremental` doesn't work. #2

Closed lcreid closed 8 years ago

lcreid commented 8 years ago

jekyll serve --incremental --host 0.0.0.0 doesn't see the file changes made on the host, so it's useless.

lcreid commented 8 years ago

https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll/issues/2926 suggests that --force_polling fixes the problem, at the penalty of a bit of CPU.

lcreid commented 8 years ago

It does. You now need to do:

jekyll serve --force_polling --host 0.0.0.0

I need to look into aliases.

lcreid commented 8 years ago

It looks like aliases aren't the way, but I could probably do shell functions for each of the servers. They would be non-trivial for a couple of reasons:

If someone specifies the argument, we don't want to override it
I'd have to figure out how to run the real program if I've overridden the program's name with a function

lcreid commented 8 years ago

The issue of making it easier to start and manage Jekyll and Rails is a little more complicated than I first thought. Closing this because the --force_polling flag fixes this specific issue.
