Hotswap broken

[jbeuckm]

I have subfolders in some of my apps. Hotswap will reload for index.js but not for my other js files in the subfolders. How can I get hotswap to listen to all files in my app's hierarchy?

From the hotswap readme...

And then add this line to modules you want to be reloaded (it tells node-hotswap to watch this file):

module.change_code = 1;

I get the message hotswap reloaded but I don't see those changes until I kill the server and start it again. :/

I can second that, lets reopen this issue.

same here i also tried adding a "console.log()" to the index.js file and it dos seem to load the module and print the log message but does not change the in-memory app

Thanks, @aaronrogers. I have the same issue - glad you recorded it!

There is another module called hotmop. While I haven't tried it myself, it's worth a try in place of node-hotswap.

seems like it doesn't usually work here, either

[kosmjon]

Not working for me either.

Looking for some PRs!

It's not totally ideal in terms of efficiency, but for most use-cases node-dev is sufficient during dev:

npm install -g node-dev
node-dev server.js

On change, the server reboots and the app restarts.
