Hi,

We pass our app into gunicorn and then gunicorn is configured with:

That should handle all reloading by itself. It does for this example app which has a custompages app with atemplates/pages/home.html file. When that file changes, you can reload your browser and see it without customizing anything else.

Thanks for the quick reply.

I did see that setting, however for me changes to the templates to not appear in the browser after reload.

I've just cloned the repository and checked this in the pages app.

Two things suggested to me that we shouldn't expect the reload to work:

1. The gunicorn docs say to use thereload_extra_files "to also watch and reload on additional files (e.g., templates, configurations, specifications, etc.)" which would suggest the reload setting alone is not enough for template files.

2. Thepull request on the gunicorn repo with users suggesting the same as 1.

But again I'm not certain if this is the case or if the templates should reload on change and there is something wrong with my setup.

Have you been able to confirm the template reloading works recently?

Edit

So I'm developing on Ubuntu 22.04 on WSL2 on Windows 11.

If I try to edit a template from WSL then as I wrote above the templates do not reload.

However, if I edit inside adevcontainer i.e. insider the docker container itself, the change is detected and gunicorn reloads so I guess in my setup, gunicorn is not seeing the file system changes originating from the WSL bind mount.

In any case, I like to develop inside the devcontainer so its not an issue for me.
