Live reloading

Questions / Help

Have you tried different text editors?

I can’t find any configuration for live_reload and watchers in your config/dev.exs. It usually looks like

  ...
  live_reload: [
    patterns: [
      ~r{priv/static/.*(js|css|png|jpeg|jpg|gif|svg)$},
      ~r{priv/gettext/.*(po)$},
      ~r{lib/web/views/.*(ex)$},
      ~r{lib/web/templates/.*(eex)$}
    ]
  ]

and

  ...
  watchers: [
    node: [
      "node_modules/brunch/bin/brunch",
      "watch",
      "--stdin",
      cd: Path.expand("../assets", __DIR__)
    ]
  ]

and in lib/endpoint.ex you have

  if code_reloading? do
    plug Phoenix.CodeReloader
  end

instead of

  if code_reloading? do
    socket("/phoenix/live_reload/socket", Phoenix.LiveReloader.Socket)
    plug(Phoenix.LiveReloader)
    plug(Phoenix.CodeReloader)
  end

Try generating a new phoenix project with mix phx.new my_app, verify that live reload works there, and diff against nilcrud to see what exactly you are missing.
