@richiardiandrea > I have never used boot-refresh, but what error do you receive? Aren’t namespaces reloaded when you change a file? There is no errors, just namespaces not reload.

and on file change - there is no “reloading” message in log

Just to clarify, on every change - Boot rebuilds app?

Or should I trigger it manually?

@kirill.salykin only if you use the watch task does it auto build

@dominicm yes, watch task used. Anybody using boot and pedestal? Do you have reload working? Trying to understand which part is a showstopper: boot, pedestal or component.

@kirill.salykin the library you're using for refresh does not restart your system after refresh. That means it's still using the old version of your system.

@dominicm Thanks, I’ll add system restart and update you (I think it will be tomorrow)

can one build Boot itself using boot? Or does one need to use make

@donyorm boot can't build itself because it does AOT compilation (to get faster startup times)

gi, I was a bit confused before

so you end up with the weird situation where it's trying to compile its own classes, which are already loaded in the classloader
