Rails 7 precompile assets in development-CodePudding

my Rails-7.0.4 app is not precompiling assets in development as expected

expected

it should refresh styles on browser reload in development

current behaviour

by example adding a style to app/assets/stylesheets/application.scss i have to do rails assets:precompile manually and then restart the server. just precompile or just restart doesnt refresh the styles.

what i`ve done

i added config.assets.compile = true to environments/development.rb it changed nothing, and, i assume that this is default anyhow.

i also tested the gem hotwire-livereload on changing views ist working super-fast and refreshes properly but, refreshing the stylesheets it has no affect to the above mentioned behaviour

can it be i started with this app on Rails-7.0.2, updated then to rails-7.0.3, by changing the gem in the gemfile. Can that have an affect?

Thanks, Chris

Now i built the whole app new rails new app-name (v 7.0.3) and draged all contents from the previous app there. App is started by rails s with the gem hotwire-livereload, live-reloading included works like expected. So, i can not tell why, but it works now.

Just run your server with bin/dev instead of bin/rails s

Update

If you don't have this file you can add it to bin folder

#!/usr/bin/env bash

if ! command -v foreman &> /dev/null
then
  echo "Installing foreman..."
  gem install foreman
fi

foreman start -f Procfile.dev

and Procfile.dev in the root of your application

web: bin/rails server -p 3000
css: yarn build:css --watch
