fix live-reload with wrangler and esbuild

[lane711]

live reload was working prior to this commit:
26bb2ac
dev build 26bb2ac Lane ldc0618@gmail.com Aug 22, 2023 at 8:48 AM

I had to convert the esbuild to use a config file.

Since then live reload with wranger has not worked. for reference here is the commands involved:
npm run dev
"dev": "run-p dev:*",
"dev:wrangler": "wrangler pages dev dist --live-reload",
"dev:esbuild": "node ./src/cms/util/build.mjs",

The goal is to restore live reload so that anytime a tsx, js, css, etc file is changed, it will build, copy to the dist folder and restart the server.

I somewhat fixed this if I run the commands not together, but I can't figure out why it doesn't work when I put everything in the package.json

The steps are the following (the code is here btw)

• created a new esbuild watch file called watch.mjs where I use the context function. This will build the dist/_worker.js every time the server.ts and it's child has a change
• on the package.json I updated the dev:esbuild task to run the previous step and on the dev:wrangler I just inserted the --live-reload option that refreshs the tab every time the dist/_worker.js is updated.

If you ran this commands in separated tabs it's works as intended, but when you try to run inside the package.json I get the error ERR_IPC_CHANNEL_CLOSED and I can't figure why.

I'd appreciate some help to solve this.

Here's the error code in fully formed:

Can we use Hono's new Cloudflare Pages template?

We are thinking that if we can run it with only Vite and Hono, without relying on Wrangler, it would give us a lot of flexibility.

However, when I tried it at hand, it did not work well...(seems to be a problem with loki and other processes?)

https://github.com/honojs/hono/releases/tag/v3.9.0

import { defineConfig } from 'vite'
import devServer from '@hono/vite-dev-server'
import pages from '@hono/vite-cloudflare-pages'

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [
    pages(),
    devServer({
      entry: 'src/index.tsx'
    })
  ]
})
