Add Whatch Files to Source

[Mig1st4ck]

I am having a hard time understanding how this vNext work.

I open the server wilth "k web" and the MVC project Sample work with no problem.

Then i change a File for exemple "HomeController", and Hit refresh on the browser and it is still the same. So even there is no DLL in a Bin forlder, those files are still in Memory.

To reload my page i need to press "Ctrol+C" and "Y" to close the current web, then run the Web again with "k web".

Could it be possible to add a FileWatcher to my source files, rebuild my code everytime i change a file?

Or am i simple doing something wrong???

Agreed, I'm seeing the same thing. Changes to Views are updated immediately by only refreshing the browser but changes to Controllers or Models (or both) require "k web" to be terminated via Control+C, then re-run the "k web" command again to start up again. While it is quite nice to not have to manually build the project in Visual Studio, adding file watching functionality to trigger a rebuild would be even better.

It'll be there eventually 😄

This would be a hosting feature, we have an issue for it here: aspnet/Hosting#45
