Bug: Hot Reload in Flet 0.10.x

[alisanoelia]

Hello everyone,

I'm experiencing the same issue with the Hot Reload feature in Flet 0.10.x. I'm using Void Linux and Python 3.12. Unfortunately, the automatic reload is not functioning as expected, and it's causing some disruption in my development workflow. This issue did not occur in previous versions, such as Flet 0.7.x.

Is there an anticipated solution or fix for this problem on the horizon? I'd appreciate any guidance or information on how to address this, as it's impacting my work.

Thank you for your help!

what i think is python 3.12 may be causing the issue because for me hot reload is working fine and i am using latest version of it too you can try github codespaces and there it will for sure work

Can confirm that on Ubuntu 22.04 with Flet 0.10.3 and Python 3.11.4 hot reload also doesn't work:

When I save the .py file with an update of the text of a ft.Text widget it just shows me a frozen loading circle forever with nothing shown in the terminal.

It also does it with any example I try like the To-Do app.

"I'd like to share a solution I found for the Hot Reload issue in Flet. It seems that adding 'port' and 'view' parameters to the last line of your code can resolve the problem. Simply use the following line: ft.flet.app(target=main, view=WEB_BROWSER, port=8080). This adjustment has enabled the Hot Reload functionality for me, and I hope it proves helpful to others facing a similar challenge."

Same problem. Hot Reload not working on flet. I try python 3.11 and 3.9, same problem.

Thanks @alisanoelia, I added the port parameter and it worked for me!
