When using "ssc build --run --watch" with vite, when a file changes it just rebuild infinitely rather than only build once.

[heapwolf]

would it be possible to show the delta/diff between the vite example that works and your changes?

[tmcappsph]

@heapwolf i just added the [build.watch] section in the socket.ini.

[heapwolf]

Did you also change copy = "src" to copy = "dist"?

[tmcappsph]

@heapwolf it is already on dist. The socket.ini I used is in the first comment.

[heapwolf]

someone changed it ;) by default copy = "src" (as evidenced here) so im curious what else may have changed from the demo that works, can you provide a link to a reproducible example?

[tmcappsph]

@heapwolf I'm doing the testing in the socket examples for vite. Here's a test repo you can use: https://github.com/tmcappsph/socket-examples/tree/master/frontend-tools-integrations/vite-vue-ts (https://github.com/tmcappsph/socket-examples.git). I just updated the socket.ini.
