HMR with Vite vanilla

[rhengles]

I already saw #1782 , but that is focused on another template engine.

I also saw the Vite documentation's Client HMR Page, and I tried putting this on my /main.js module:

if (import.meta.hot) {
	import.meta.hot.decline();
}

From the best of my understanding from that page, this should indicate to the Vite process that if I change and save the /main.js module on my local file system, Vite should reload the page with the updated code for that module ?

But for now, nothing happens when I change and save the file, even the CLI doesn't print anything indicating that it saw the change on the file system.

Can I manually use the HMR api to be notified when the /main.js module is updated ?

Thanks!

Alright, my problem was running code from WSL and using files from the Windows drive. I solved it by running code from the Windows command prompt (or Powershell). I had to reinstall all node_modules from windows too.
