Whenever I make a change on my Play app, it doesn't re-compile (auto-reload?) the changes and when I refresh the page I see the old version of the app. I have to Control + D every time I make a change to the source code, and that's not convenient.
I tried it on old apps, created new app, activator clean, activator ~ run ... doesn't help
...any ideas?
Got it to work using this answer to an issue submitted on Github
The simplest workaround is to use polling instead, by adding the following to your build:
PlayKeys.playWatchService := play.sbtplugin.run.PlayWatchService.sbt(pollInterval.value)Note that I would not use this in combination with
~run, because it will mean that Play and sbt will both be polling for changes in 2 separate threads, which is going to chew up a lot of cpu. Rather, just use it withrun.
