Can Rspack Cancel Ongoing Compilation on New File Changes (Watch Mode)?

[kelp-vishal]

Hi team,

We’re using Rspack in dev/watch mode for a large Angular + Nx + Module Federation project.

Rebuild time is ~30 seconds. If a rebuild (A) is in progress and we modify another file (B), Rspack finishes A first and then starts a new rebuild for B. So if we edit B halfway through A, total wait becomes ~45 seconds.

Is there any option in Rspack to:

Cancel an ongoing compilation when new file changes are detected, and

Immediately restart compilation using the latest state (A + B changes)?

Or is queued rebuild the intended and only behavior in watch mode?

We’re trying to improve dev-loop efficiency for large projects.

Thanks.

Rspack doesn't support cancel ongoing compilation and it's no easy to support it
