Reload app on minor changes

[nvelden]

My usual workflow for writing an App is to run the app and when I add for instance a control widget or add a CSS rule I hit refresh in the browser to see how things look. With a Golem App using modules this does not seem to work. For every small change do I need to stop the App and then restart by running the appdemo::run_app() in the run_dev.R file? Is there a better workflow?

Hey,

Does this #263 (comment) answer your question ?

[nvelden]

Thanks a lot. I followed the steps outlined in your description. I can see that the browser refreshes after adding an input in a module and press save but the change is not shown in the web browser. Only when I run the run_dev.R file again the change pops-up.

I guess it is related to an issue in Shiny:

rstudio/shiny#2711

I tried the proposed solution by referencing the module source file in the app_server.R but that did not work either.

Hey @nvelden,

I'm closing this as it is a duplicate of #263 and I feel like we should keep track of this feature in one place :)

Thanks for opening this issue,

Cheers,

Colin
