I'm actually seeing this sometimes as well. For example: I install a license.ps1 file and the license it not picked up.

Sometimes my format is super bad, so i will open it up on the HD in vscode and do a format document to get the lines to look nice, and then i have to restart the app pool to get it to show up in the website

this will keep me off the HD: https://docs.powershelluniversal.com/development/editor#formatting

I had to revert a file change and then i had to recycle the app pool to see my change undo

I just changed 10 files with http:// to https:// in the dashboard on the HD directly on the server using vscode find and replace, the psu does not know that the files changed, i am in edit mode for git

We need to grab some logs from your environment on debug. This find\replace scenario was the exact one I tested when checking on this fix.

1. Edit something on the HD, boom, it refreshes in the PSU editor.
2. Edit something in the editor, hit save, the file on the HD gets updated, vscode sees the change.
3. Edit something in vscode on the HD, save
4. PSU stops watching the file for changes

Emailing you the logs

Interesting. So if you edit it with something besides VS Code it reloads it?

if you edit something on the HD with notepad, then it reloads... then, go into the PSU editor, and edit the same file, then edit the file on the HD, psu will stop watching the files to reload

if you want a quick call and watch me, you can send me an invite ;)

vscode = a text editor on the server

Retry has been implemented.
