Not updating an import when reloading using chokidar

[nethriis]

Environment

---

• Operating System: Windows_NT
• Node Version: v20.10.0

• Package Manager: pnpm@9.0.0

Reproduction

const watcher = chokidar.watch('.', { ignoreInitial: true })

watcher.on('all', () => {
  const _jiti = jiti('.', {
    interopDefault: true,
    cache: false,
    v8cache: false
  })
  const mod = _jiti('./path/to/file')
  console.log(mod)
})

Describe the bug

When I create a new file the log who display mod displays {} and when I modify my file and exports something else like { type: 'opt' }, the log display {} to. The same when I just move a file containing export default { type: 'opt' } the log displays { type: 'opt' } and when I empty the file it displays me { type: 'opt' } too.

Hi. You should disable requireCache to allow HMR behavior. cache is for disk cache and you can even keep it enabled to leverage faster reloads (jiti will still compare the contents)

I noticed it is undocumented, if you had time and worked for you, PR welcome to add docs for requireCache

Thank you, it does indeed work. I'll try to document the requireCache shortly.
