Hot reload does not work in Debug mode.

Hey! Could you provide sample project where I can reproduce this bug?

[BaseCrusher]

I tried it with the sample projects of this repo.

[gritsenko]

just tired on Visual Studio 2022 debug mode with the sample projects and hot reload was working as expected

[BaseCrusher]

I haven't tested it with VS but with Rider.

@BaseCrusher hey! Can you try hot reload with the latest update?

[BaseCrusher]

@gritsenko I've just tested it. Sadly it is still not fixed. When running in debug, i can also see the console output for ClearCache and UpdateApplication but when running in debug, there is nothing.

@BaseCrusher I found out that bug was related to JetBrains own hot reload implementation, it's actually reloads c# code during debug, but it doesn't send any notification to HotReloadManager. So I added workaround for the Rider support

//init app
AppBuilder.Configure<Application>()
  .UseRiderHotReload() //this line adds watcher that checks, if Views were changed during debugging session
  .SetupWithLifetime(lifetime);

(It's not published as a nuget package yet, only in sources)

I tested it on my machine and I can confirm that it now works.

The only question for me is, if we should consider creating a ticket at JetBrains to align their behavior with what .Net is using. Did you already create one or should I make one?

[gritsenko]

I saw only this ticket about it. I think the problem is the same.

https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/RIDER-110981/Blazor-hot-reloading-still-not-working.

I didn't send any ticket, so you can make one if you think it's necessary

[BaseCrusher]

Ok, I will create one. If there are updates, I will let you know. :)

Thank you anyway very much for the workaround.
