What did you do?
created a .v file with main that prints with println

What did you expect to see?
my printed out string

What did you see instead?
reload cycles with no stdout prints

v run prints correctly

I think I found your mistake, if you do v watch file.v it's the equivalent of doing v file.v at every file change (compiling the file). I think you want to do v watch run file.v to run the file at every file change.

[Dialga]

$ v help watch
v watch [--clear] [--ignore .db] [--add /path/to/a/file.v] [other V options] [run] program.v

Description:
`v watch` collects all .v files needed for a compilation, then when
any of the .v source files changes, it re-runs the compilation.
...

Use v watch run . to build and run the source file, watch without run will only recompile the file.

thats exactly what I did this should not be closed?

[Dialga]

Can you provide a terminal session log that shows v watch run program.v not working for you?

[Corallus-Caninus]

I am not sure what I did to cause this (I was certain at the time I did the command correctly as posted but perhaps I didn't, I just started writting v again and didnt get stdout until I found this bug and called "v watch" with "run") I have not run into this problem since (pun unintended).

Good news and pun
