Esbuild watch with sls offline not working

[ipauler]

Hello.
I've added a watch pattern in esbuild config

watch:
      pattern: [ 'src/**/*.ts']

it's recompiling code after changes, but those changes are not working
like if i add console.log('hello') it will recompile but i won't see that console.log() anywhere
same for other changes

Are you certain it's not this long standing issue with serverless-offline (dherault/serverless-offline#864) ?

Enabling --useChildProcesses fixes this.

[ipauler]

@joelpickup thank you will check
looks like it

[ipauler]

using childProcess flag helps, but after rebuild i have cold start which is not useful in my case
anyway thanks, i'll be waiting for some fixes on serverless-offline side

I'll close this. Feel free to reopen if you need more help or find bugs on this lib's side.

--useChildProcesses

Detected unrecognized CLI options: "--useChildProcesses".

try --reloadHandler with serverless offline

[deviant32]

still not working for me with reloadHandler

[naydichev]

also not working for me!

edit: nevermind, fixed it!

In serverless.yml add:

custom:
  offline:
    useChildProcesses: true

and then I called called sls offline --reloadHandler, and it works for me now.
