Changes to resources are not seen when using sift in 2.8.0

[borkdude]

Problem Description

Boot development task that worked in 2.7.2 now has problem: changes to resources are not seen anymore.

E.g. when I (slurp (io/resource "issue/core.clj")) and then edit core.clj and evaluate (slurp (io/resource "issue/core.clj")) again, it doesn't see the changes. This is somehow related to the sift task. If I uncomment this line https://github.com/borkdude/boot-sift-issue/blob/master/build.boot#L33 then it works in 2.8.0. It worked in 2.7.2.

Why do I need this to work:
I need to see changes to resources, because I load queries from .sql files using HugSQL.
E.g.

(hugsql/def-db-fns "dre/db/html/query.sql" {:quoting :ansi})

When I change query.sql I want to be able to re-eval that expression and use the new queries.

This is because of #680 which went out with 2.8.0.

We need to decide if we want to keep the change, and there is a suitable alternate workflow, or if we want to revert the change.

[alandipert]

Reverted #680 and pushing 2.8.1 so we can discuss further how we want to proceed.

Yep this is due to the behavior change - watch+sift is not eager anymore with that patch it seems, haven't investigated further though /cc @bhagany

@borkdude did 2.8.1 fix this for you? (Even though it broke call?) If so please feel free to close ticket.
