Debugging file watcher

[check24-danielpaschsannapiu]

I'm trying to get the new file watcher working.

I can't get it to reload my workers at all. Does the file watcher log anything when it reloads?
I've tried editing files or creating new ones etc nothing seems to create a new log output and my change is not visible either.

My config pretty "standard"

{
        {$CADDY_GLOBAL_OPTIONS}

        frankenphp {
                worker {
                    file /app/public/index.php
                    num 2
                    watch
                }
        }
}

{$CADDY_EXTRA_CONFIG}

{$SERVER_NAME:localhost} {
        #log {
        #       # Redact the authorization query parameter that can be set by Mercure
        #       format filter {
        #               request>uri query {
        #                       replace authorization REDACTED
        #               }
        #       }
        #}

        root * public/
        encode zstd br gzip

        # Uncomment the following lines to enable Mercure and Vulcain modules
        #mercure {
        #       # Transport to use (default to Bolt)
        #       transport_url {$MERCURE_TRANSPORT_URL:bolt:///data/mercure.db}
        #       # Publisher JWT key
        #       publisher_jwt {env.MERCURE_PUBLISHER_JWT_KEY} {env.MERCURE_PUBLISHER_JWT_ALG}
        #       # Subscriber JWT key
        #       subscriber_jwt {env.MERCURE_SUBSCRIBER_JWT_KEY} {env.MERCURE_SUBSCRIBER_JWT_ALG}
        #       # Allow anonymous subscribers (double-check that it's what you want)
        #       anonymous
        #       # Enable the subscription API (double-check that it's what you want)
        #       subscriptions
        #       # Extra directives
        #       {$MERCURE_EXTRA_DIRECTIVES}
        #}
        #vulcain

        {$CADDY_SERVER_EXTRA_DIRECTIVES}

        php_server
}

I'm running

FROM dunglas/frankenphp:1.3.3-php8.3.14-alpine

And my /app directory is a mounted volume via docker (orbstack)

Frankenphp 1.3.3
Orbstack 1.8.2
MacOS 14.7.1

As it always is, as soon as I posted this I figured it out :D

For others.

This message appears when a filesystem change happens:

{"level":"info","ts":1734093169.925381,"msg":"filesystem change detected"}
{"level":"info","ts":1734093169.9432268,"msg":"workers restarted successfully"}

In my case I was simply pointing to an old Dockerfile which had a version without watch support.
I would have assumed that frankenphp throws some sort of error when it doesn't know the config directive "watch" but it seemed to just ignore it.

Pointing to the actual correct Dockerfile with dunglas/frankenphp:1.3.3-php8.3.14-alpine now works flawlessly 👍
