11/08/2023, 10:21 AMHey everyone, i hope you're all doing great 🙂
Lately i was working a lot with react & nextjs (not umbraco related) and i really enjoyed the live reload where when i changed something on the code also the Page refreshed directly without me hitting F5 oder the Refresh Button of the Browser. Is this also possible for Umbraco Projects working with asp.net mvc?

11/08/2023, 12:14 PM@Mike Chambers Thanks for your answer, but this seems to be something else: "By default, Live Edit is enabled only for HTML and CSS files."

11/08/2023, 12:18 PMso noted limitation in Rider for hotreload.. ??
https://www.jetbrains.com/help/rider/Hot_Reload.html#Limitations
"When applying Hot Reload to an ASP.NET Core application, the browser does not refresh automatically."

11/08/2023, 12:19 PMbut as @kdx-perbol says.. debugging in VS studio, or VS community (2022/or preview) hot reload for me refreshes the browser via browser link...

11/08/2023, 12:41 PMI believe Hot Reload is intended for actual code changes (c#), not for cshtml/css
Ambert
11/08/2023, 12:41 PMHowever i'd love it when atleast the browser refreshes when doing an CSS change in Rider.. haven't gotten that to work sadly

11/08/2023, 12:43 PMSo yea Hot Reload is basically what you need if you do code changes, so you don't need to restart it each time, however not all code changes can be hot reloaded, and no auto-refresh 😦

11/13/2023, 9:06 AMMicrosoft has decided that Hot Reload will be a Visual Studio feature only. It used to be available to other IDEs but they took that back.

11/13/2023, 9:26 AMRider has hot reload too, but not the browser refreshing though, just for code

11/13/2023, 9:47 AMYeah it's nice. But limited (like in VS), a pretty simple refactor will break it most of the time and tell you you need to rebuild anyway. It's a cute feature but not all that useful.
Sebastiaan
11/13/2023, 9:48 AMAnd yes, I meant Hot Reload with browser refreshing is a VS feature only.

11/14/2023, 3:23 PMThanks @Sebastiaan for your answer! Do you know if it works in "vs code"?
s
Sebastiaan
11/14/2023, 3:47 PMI don't think so, they really want you to pay for full Visual Studio

11/14/2023, 3:48 PMOh, it's been updated! :

> Updated to add
> It appears Microsoft has changed its mind in light of the uproar from developers, and Hot Reload isn't being removed from open-source .NET. On Saturday, .NET's director of program management Scott Hunter said:
>
> "First and foremost, we want to apologize. We made a mistake in executing on our decision and took longer than expected to respond back to the community. We have approved the pull request to re-enable this code path and it will be in the GA build of the .NET 6 SDK."

11/14/2023, 3:48 PMSo.. maybe? 😁

PascalEugster
11/14/2023, 3:49 PMSo it could work or will in future?

11/14/2023, 3:50 PMWe're on .NET 7 and almost on 8 now, so.. probably. I haven't tried
