The default install of Phoenix has live reload working when I make changes to the original index.html.heex file on a new Phoenix project, however, if I happen to make the following changes below to the “router” and “page_controller” to modify the home page such that when I change the string “some text” in the “page_controller”, live reload is not working.
I do see that in my console that the “Rebuilding…” message does appear, but there is no live reload in the browser.
router.ex
# ...
scope "/", AppsWeb do
pipe_through :browser
get "/", PageController, :test
end
# ...
page_controller.ex
# ...
def test(conn, _params) do
html(conn, "some text")
end
# ...
I tried adding in controllers files into the dev.exs live_reload configuration, but was unable to get the changes to pick up in live reload
#...

iframe_attrs: [class: "hidden"],
