What IDE and plugins is being used? This sounds like what happens when multiple things are touching the _build directory.

I was able to reproduce the bug when using both Vim and vscode. Vim I’ve been using for many years and I’ve never had this issue. So I can’t see it being the cause right now.
Perhaps my Macbook is just acting up… I am not able to reproduce it right now!

It wouldn’t be vim, but rather do you use something like elixir-ls with it or what elixir plugin do you use?

This is not what the question was about, this question was about a feature of the phoenixframework which should automatically recompile changed code when the development server is running.

yes and the problem is only with the dependencies and when you specify the path in mix.exs mix will recompie whenever we change something in that dependency.
it happened with me and when i try to recompile iex returned :noop, the process mentioned solved the issue.

A better way to do what? As I said already, neither it is idiomatic to change code in deps nor is it necessary.
If you have the feeling you have to edit code in that folder, then you are probably doing things wrong and you should stop. Tell us what you actually want to achieve and we can tell you the proper way to do so.

Which was not about changing phoenix code in the deps, but about code of the actuall application.

I’m experiencing a similar issue after a system crash in the middle of developing my app (the phx.server was running).
The reason for crash is unknown (could be related to a faulty keyboard on my laptop).
Problem
The auto-recompile no longer happens, but manual recompile does see and recompile the changes, then I have to manually refresh the browser to see changes.
Same for all files: .ex, .eex, .leex, .scss
Note: I never changed any config records related to :code_reloader and they seem to be Ok, i.e. true for dev.
The following didn’t help:
- Manually updated all
depsto latest versions. - Manually removed the folders
_build/,depsandnode_modulesand reinstalled latest dependencies. - Replaced the local repo with freshly cloned from remote and ran
mix setupwith latest versions for all deps inmix.ex. - Uninstalled
Elixir-LSextension for VS Code.
Observation
I couldn’t reproduce this behavior, i.e. live code reloading works fine on a newly created app (with `mix phx.new testapp --live).
My setup:
OS: MX-18.3_x64
Elixir: Elixir 1.11.2 (Erlang/OTP 23)
Editor: VS Code (latest)
I’m not sure what to try next, so any help in fixing this issue is much appreciated!
