getLoadContext does not execute when passed to createRequestHandler

[juanpprieto]

Hi @nickytonline hope you are well 🙏🏼

I been trying to add a context property in the edge template without any luck.

// server.js

import { createRequestHandler } from "@remix-run/netlify";
import * as build from "@remix-run/dev/server-build";

export const handler = createRequestHandler({
  build,
  mode: process.env.NODE_ENV,
  getLoadContext: (_, context) => {
    console.log('🤷 not being called...') 
    return { ...context, foo: 'bar' }
  }
});

I checked a loader context's and it is missing the additional foo property added above.

I then tried debugging it via the /packages/demo-edge-site but the demo instance seems to be broken:

/remix-compute/packages/edge-demo-site main* ❯ npm run dev                           12:17:07

> [email protected] dev
> remix dev

Error: remix dev is not supported for custom servers.

@juanpprieto, hmmm, that could be a bug with context.

You can update the dev command to remix watch and then run netlify dev from the root of the project (not packages/edge-demo-site). Ensure the Netlify CLI is installed/up to date. See https://docs.netlify.com/cli/get-started/

/netlify.toml

[build]
command = "npm run build:edge-demo"
publish = "packages/edge-demo-site/public"
+
+ [dev]
+ command = "npm run dev -w packages/edge-demo-site"

I'll update the dev command and netlify.toml for the demo site. As the remix dev command says, the dev server doesn't work for custom servers, i.e. not a node.js environment.

If you make changes while debugging, you'll need to do a browser refresh if you make UI changes. For Edge function changes, the next request will pick up the latest changes.

Just flagging this again as I'm also unable to do this, even with the steps described here. The createRequestHandler function just straight up isn't being called. Has there been any solution found?
