2026-04-11 shadow-cljs | Clojure Slack Archive

Of course everything always worked fine when running in a Container, except that file watching didn't work at all.

🤔 We are running shadow-cljs via Docker, and we didn't have this limitation/problem

where are the files shadow-cljs is watching? it normally doesn't work for any mounted volumes?

regular filesystem might be ok

We mount the project folder (host's filesystem) to the container

and you are running a watch build? I've never seen that work with automatic recompiles

Like in the example in your blogpost, but using docker-compose

everything else is fine yes

which OS? maybe it works in linux. doesn't work for docker on macos for me, neither did windows

We run npx shadow-cljs watch app

We now all use Linux, so that might be

good to know. I mean that all just continues to work as before, nothing changes then. :polling really is just a fallback for when it doesn't

Ok, great

FYI: A colleague that used to work on MacOS (arm64) confirms me that hot-reloading worked as expected with the same setup.

It hasn't found its way to npm registry yet: https://www.npmjs.com/package/shadow-cljs

fixed. thx.

hot reloading has stopped working for us since upgrading to 3.4.1. We use linux with no containers.
