Dev build breaks upon code updates

[Kay2dan]

Hi. I am not clear on what I am doing wrong here. Almost 9 times out of 10, when I make changes in my editor, the code update breaks & I get errors. Please see this screenshot.

Refreshing the browser does not help. Its only when I rebuild by running the blitz start again, does it work fine. I am having to do this after every code change. As nothing of note was found when I searched among the issues section for 'hot-reload', I wonder what I am doing wrong here.

The following screenshot is when I cancel the build and rerun the blitz start command again. No changes to code were made.

My specs:

Linux Mint 19.1 Cinnamon
Node v12.8.3 (using NVM: Node Version Manager)
Tested the above on both Firefox (latest stable release) & Opera (latest stable release).
System is Lenovo Thinkpad T420 - 12GB ram (old but its gold).
Editor: VSCode (latest stable release)

I really hope this can be fixed as I am super excited to use Blitz for an MVP.

Thank you.

Hmm, that's not good! Can you try upgrading react and react-dom to 0.0.0-experimental-94c0244ba and see if that fixes it?

Thank you Brandon, I updated to the version you spicified above. however, it doesnt appear to completely. Now I am not having to restart upon every update, however, the unexpected behaviour is definitely there. I will continue the dev & see how it goes & post update here.
No, its still not working unfortunately.

In the below screenshot, the browser is giving errors while the terminal is giving the all clear for the build.

Later today, I will replicate the repo on Ubuntu system & see how that fares.

Thank you for the help.

Ok, so it appears to me that this is somehow caused by your code, either a dependency issue or in your code itself.

One way to figure out the problem is to use git bisect. Go back and find a commit where it's working fine and use git bisect to isolate which commit is the problem.

Another way is to create a new Blitz app and then port over your code piece by piece, testing each time.

Fair points. I will investigate & see what I can find. Will share soon. Thank you Brandon.

Can the admin please close this. I reinstalled Mint OS & all packages and it appears to be working fine. Thank you.

Ok, glad you got it working!
