Hot Reload not working for changes on main.go

[JonPichel]

Hi,

I am using the air version packaged in nixpkgs. My operating system is NixOS. This is the version that gets returned on air -v: (devel), built with Go [email protected].

This is my .air.toml file:

root = "."
testdata_dir = "testdata"
tmp_dir = "tmp"

[build]
  args_bin = []
  bin = "./tmp/main"
  cmd = "go build -o ./tmp/main ."
  delay = 0
  exclude_dir = ["node_modules", "assets", "tmp", "vendor", "testdata"]
  exclude_file = []
  exclude_regex = ["_test.go"]
  exclude_unchanged = false
  follow_symlink = false
  full_bin = ""
  include_dir = [".", "internal"]
  include_ext = ["go"]
  include_file = ["main.go"]
  kill_delay = "0s"
  log = "build-errors.log"
  poll = false
  poll_interval = 0
  rerun = false
  rerun_delay = 500
  send_interrupt = false
  stop_on_error = false

[color]
  app = ""
  build = "yellow"
  main = "magenta"
  runner = "green"
  watcher = "cyan"

[log]
  main_only = false
  time = false

[misc]
  clean_on_exit = false

[screen]
  clear_on_rebuild = false
  keep_scroll = true

As you can see I tried several things to include main.go, but nothing is working. When I run air it reports that it is watching main.go, but when I change the contents of the file it doesn't reload.

It does however detect changes in any file in the internal/ directory.

I assume this is a problem with the version packaged by nixpkgs, but maybe my configuration is not correct.

It seems to I have the same issue, but when i set config file flag

air -c .air.toml

It works!

air v1.51.0, built with Go go1.22.2

It doesn't work for me that way either. Maybe it is due to the Nix package using the (devel) version.
