App entry point

[jods4]

My application root is by convention app. It starts like this:
aurelia.start().then(() => aurelia.setRoot());

I noticed that app is not loaded through any of the module.hot.accept paths in aurelia-loader-webpack and hence does not support HMR. Changing code in app.ts triggers a full reload.

app.html on the other hand goes through module.hot.accept and triggers a hot reload, but the view is only updated the very first time. After that, it still triggers a hot reload but the view is not updated anymore.
I don't have that problem with other views, they refresh fine.

Interesting. Any thoughts on how to correct this?

[jods4]

Unfortunately no.

I have not debugged where app gets loaded and why it doesn't go through the normal code path.

Then for the app.html weird behavior, I must admit I don't fully understand yet what the aurelia HMR module does, so no idea what happens here.

This is where app is inferred when no root is specified: https://github.com/aurelia/framework/blob/d650b01993aa2db81f8c9587793b73b2d1f0476d/src/aurelia.js#L133

@jods4 maybe can be closed?

[jods4]

@Alexander-Taran was there a fix for that?

[Alexander-Taran]

@jods4, sir. Can't know sir.
I'm asking you (-:
Maybe it was resolved and you are already happy?

[jods4]

Nothing that I know of.
