root index.html does not update after change

[rbhalla]

Operating system

macOS Sonoma 14.5

Eleventy

2.0.1

Describe the bug

I am new to the library and have a clean install, my folder structure is:

• _includes
  • layout.html
• posts
  • post1.md
• index.html

Both post1.md and index.html reference layout.html in their front matter.

I am compiling them using the command npx @11ty/eleventy --serve which I believe also watches.

When I make a change to layout.html, I see both files being written in the terminal, however, only one compiled reflects the change, /posts/post1/index.html. To make sure I also see it at /index.html, I have to re run npx @11ty/eleventy --serve to see the change (which sort of defeats the purpose of the watcher for me).

Reproduction steps

1. copy folder structure as above
2. ensure front matter for both files is pointing to single layout file
3. run npx @11ty/eleventy --serve
4. see the problem

Expected behavior

I expect to always see the latest change when I save.

I’m having trouble reproducing this with the steps provided—can you provide a minimum test case that exhibits the issue?

Another option is to perhaps try the 3.0.0-beta.1 version (soon to release as stable)

npm install @11ty/eleventy@beta --save-exact
