Automatic reload running idyll in WSL: it seems not work

[aborruso]

Describe the bug
Hi, I'm using idyll in windows subsystem for linux. If I modify index.idyll and save it, and then reload http://localhost:3000/, I do not have the variations in the browser.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. install idyll on WSL
2. create a project,
3. run idyll and wait for the browser,
4. edit the index file and reload the browser

Expected behavior
To see the variations in the browser.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: debian bullseye (as a WSL)
• Browser chrome
• Version 5.7.6

Additional context
I know, this is probably not up to idyll, it's up to WSL :(

Thanks for reporting this @aborruso. Can you confirm that things re-compile as expected if you stop and restart the idyll command after making a change?

I can take a look on WSL later this week; idyll should also work outside of WSL in the standard windows shell

If I stop and restart, things recompile properly.

Thank you very much

Hi @aborruso - sorry I haven't been able to take a proper look at this yet. If you are able would you be willing to help debug? The errant behavior is likely somewhere in this code https://github.com/idyll-lang/idyll/blob/master/packages/idyll-cli/src/index.js#L215-L237

Likely either (i) a file path is being improperly constructed and so changes aren't properly triggering a rebuild or (ii) the path is correct but the watch function isn't firing for some reason. To test against a local copy of idyll see the steps here https://github.com/idyll-lang/idyll/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#making-changes
