it’s been a while since I’ve done any RN - last time was re-natal

shadow

It’s doing this, and recreating shadow on every reload, it seems:

LOG  Running "Harvey" with {"rootTag":131,"initialProps":{}}
 LOG  shadow-cljs #77 ready!
 BUNDLE  ./index.js

 LOG  Running "Harvey" with {"rootTag":141,"initialProps":{}}
 LOG  shadow-cljs #78 ready!
 BUNDLE  ./index.js

 LOG  Running "Harvey" with {"rootTag":151,"initialProps":{}}
 LOG  shadow-cljs #79 ready!
 BUNDLE  ./index.js

 LOG  Running "Harvey" with {"rootTag":161,"initialProps":{}}
 LOG  shadow-cljs #80 ready!
 BUNDLE  ./index.js

 LOG  Running "Harvey" with {"rootTag":171,"initialProps":{}}
 LOG  shadow-cljs #81 ready!
 BUNDLE  ./index.js

 LOG  Running "Harvey" with {"rootTag":181,"initialProps":{}}
 LOG  shadow-cljs #82 ready!

I tried disabling “fast refresh” in the debug menu, but seems like that turned everything off.

perhaps this is a better question for #C0E1SN0NM too..

you need to turn off any other reloading yes

> but seems like that turned everything off

shouldn't affect what shadow does whatsoever?

Hey Dan 👋 Perhaps @UQP60F2B1 could help you 🙂

that’d be awesome, and hey 👋 back!

the metro refresh clobbers all state in the app, so it’s pretty annoying. glad that this isn’t the intended experience.

@U05224H0W perhaps the shadow live reloading isn’t working? could you suggest a way to debug that?

I see the compilation success messages, and when metro has refreshed, the changes are visible. however, when “fast refresh” is disabled in RN, I don’t see any subsequent changes.

repl connects fine too :I

without knowing anything about what you are doing I can't really comment

are you following https://code.thheller.com/blog/shadow-cljs/2019/08/25/hot-reload-in-clojurescript.html?

fair enough.

ie. do you have the hooks configured? are you triggering your render properly?

shadow just reloads your code. rendering it is up to you.

yep, the hooks are there

it’s definitely reloading, perhaps shadow.react-native/render-root isnt compatible with 0.71?

I can see the modules being loaded, and can observe atoms changing in the namespace, but then nothing happens in the render

@U05224H0W just a heads up, that there is indeed something not right with the render-root function, sadly - swapping to use the reload-comp strategy in https://github.com/flexsurfer/rn-shadow-steroid is working fine.

if I get a chance later on, i’ll try and lock that down further.

not aware of any issues, but I also don't use react-native so totally possible something doesn't work

sorry for noise, appreciate the support. I’ll open an issue if i can get a reliable description of why the out of the box render fn wasn’t working here.
