Hjson definitions not reloading when clicking on the SC reload icon

[JonL]

Wappler Version : 4.4.5
Operating System : MacOS Monterey

Expected behavior

@George

When you just write a new Hjson file describing the UI, you can hit the reload icon in Server Connect toolbar to load the new definition.

Actual behavior

It doesn’t

Looks like a Mac issue. Haven’t had any issues in 4.4.5 with Windows.

What’s this button to reload and is it working?

[sid]

This was changed in recent updates… where reloading is no required anymore.

This is the reload button which was used earlier.
In current setup, any changes - edit or add - in custom extensions just require you to close the existing SA tab and re-open it.

I confirm, although if you create a new extension you have to restart Wappler, right? At least that’s what I experienced

Edit: Or maybe it was my mistake, putting in the wrong folder, don’t remember

Nope. Never been the case… since first release. Probably the wrong folder thing.

[George]

Yes you have to close and reopen Wappler’s main editor window - to force reload of new extension files.

The refresh icon just refreshes the folder structure displayed in server connect.

This should be fixed in Wappler 5.5.0
