Hot reload or watch does not work

Serhioromano

I investigated and

Deleted node_modules and install it again
fs.inotify.max_user_watches = 524288
Try to sudo start quasar dev
use – --reset-cache

And all other suggestions I was able to find. But now I am desperate. I have no options left and it does not work.

Questio:n has hot reload ever worked for you in this setup / did it recently stopped working. Or has it never worked?

I see you use WSL2 on windows.

What if you run the same project on ‘just’ windows?

Serhioromano

It used to work, but I did not work on my project for 6 month so I do not know when it stopped working. If I try it on windows it fails because I need to remove node_modules folder and run npm install again under windows to get appropriate binaries. May be if I do it, it will work, but then commands under WSL will stop working.

This is how I fix this. I install another copy of Ubuntu as WSL 1 and run quasar from there. Now reload is working.
