5 months ago @K2adir , we're sorry you are running into this. There are a couple of things that we would like to verify. Do you have the C# Extension installed, and if so, what version? Do you have C# Dev Kit extension installed, and if so, what version? Are you directly using dotnet watch, or are you using some VS Code tasks.json/launch.json entry to launch dotnet watch ?
Describe the Issue
Razor pages with HTMX functionality are buggy. dotnet watch isn't stable.
Sometimes, I get this "🔥 Hot reload of changes succeeded," and think everything went smoothly.
However, the expected behavior can't be seen on the page. To see if the code is correct or not, I need to stop and re-run dotnet watch. After doing that, the expected code behavior can be observed.
The behavior seems to be random.
With some changes, I get this message: "Do you want to restart your app - Yes (y) / No (n) / Always (a) / Never (v)?" which is okay, at least I know that a restart is required.
But there are times that a restart is required to see the effects, but the terminal isn't telling me that and acts like everything is ready to go.
The problem with this: I don't know if the code is right or wrong. I need to restart the system constantly to see if my code works or not, which makes hot reload useless.
Steps To Reproduce
writing hx-get, hx-target attributes
Expected Behavior
Hot reloading and seeing the effects on the screen.
