Description

Feature request - I'm running webpack + HMR in an ASP.NET Core 2 project and want to allow webpack to handle the sass updating (without page reloads) and, to let Browser Reload to handle cshtml changes.

As it stands I've added a '\wwwroot\dist' item to the Ignore patterns option. This works, but of course now this applies to all solutions and projects. Would it be possible to add, say, a 'browserreload.config' file to the project and these options would override the app level ones instead?

Version 15.8.8

Hi, I have been trying to use Visual Studio with Browser Reload for a personal project. I have a terminal open with a gulp task to watch and build any changes applied to css and js, and I'm referencing this files in my razor pages. Both files take the same time to transpile (around 200ms).

When applying changes to CSS, everything is smooth. Once I press ctrl+s, the browser syncs perfectly.

Once I apply changes to JS files, the browser reload also works, but no changes are applied. After a few seconds, it detects another change and sends another reload to the browser, this time with the changes applied.

I'm not sure this is a browser reload issue, so I'm looking for some guidance.

So since you can compile RCL (Razor Class Library) Views/Pages at runtime it would really be awesome if it would reload the webpage in the browser as well.

Per https://twitter.com/mkristensen/status/863070980381462528?cn=cmVwbHk%3D&refsrc=email

Mads requested that I create an issue to track the possibility of reloading the browser after a successful build, as opposed to, or in addition to, reloading on save.

Honestly, I don't know if this is the correct repo to be creating this issue given the name of the repo -- "Reload on Save". I'm not sure if people would expect a "Reload on Save" extension to "Reload on Build". I'll be happy to recreate this issue in another repo if necessary.

The general idea is that it would be helpful if the browser would reload after a successful compilation. Often, I find myself writing back-end code for a page, and I'd love to have something that would refresh the browser once the build finishes.

Steps to recreate

1. Create an MVC site
2. Create a new controller action with some manner of business logic that returns data for a view.
3. Create the view that uses the data
4. Compile and view the page
5. Change the controller action to have different business logic.
6. Compile the site.
7. The page is not refreshed

Current behavior

The page is not refreshed after a successful compilation.

Expected behavior

The page should refresh after a successful compilation.

Browser doesn't reload on save if you are on an error page

Steps to recreate

1. Get an error page
2. Make a correction in IDE and save

Current behavior

If I get an error page and I make a correction in my code, I use the CTRL + S hotkey combination to save the file, but the page does not refresh.

Expected behavior

I would expect that the page would refresh regardless of what kind of page it is... error or otherwise (within reason -- ie-a page related to the site being worked on)

Hej Mads,

Installed product versions

• Visual Studio: [example 2015 Enterprise Update 3]
• Web Essentials 3.0.235

Description

When running an ASP.NET Core application (1.1 running on top of 1.1 Core) Browserlink is enabled and working across browsers (IE, Chrome, Edge, Firefox). Saving a JS or CSS file triggers an automatic reload of all browsers.
BUT on saving changes to a razor view cshtml file does not trigger a reload.

Steps to recreate

1. Create new 1.1 aspnet core app
2. ctrl-f5 to start app in browser.
3. Check in the browserlink windows that a browserlink is active between vs and the browser
4. save a change to a cshtml file - new HTML segment or change the CLASS property ...
5. See how the browser does not automatically reload.
6. Check that a change to a Javascript or CSS file does reload the browser.

Current behavior

I was expecting the browser to reload on any change to any of the files listed in the file filter in [Options\Web\Browser reload on save]

Expected behavior

Reload .... 🎱

Message that it is already installed to all applicable products appears even though it is not installed in Visual Studio 2022.
It is also not listed in Online Extensions in Manage Extensions Visual Studio 2022.

Expected behavior

Note: Sorry for the all the extra details. I probably could have stopped with the title on this one.

A lot of my projects use NancyFX as owin middleware and the SystemWeb host, will this work for those types of projects?

Description

I've run the web app under the debugger, a browser is open to the page. I've stopped the debugger to make further changes.

I now change one of the files that trigger linked browser reload, and the browser updates to show an error page. This is annoying because it is often useful to be able to see the "old" state of the page when changing to the "new".

Current behavior

If reload is enabled it always reloads even if, because the debugger is not running, the page cannot be reloaded.

Expected behavior

Please add another state to the enabled setting: reload, disabled, and "reload under debugger"

Hi @madskristensen,

Firstly we appreciate the effort you make towards all your extensions.

This issue keeps getting closed, even though it doesn't always get fully fixed:
It was first noted here:
#5

Then the same type of issue was opened here:
#6

In both cases the issue gets closed without someone verifying that it actually is fixed

Just to recap:
CSHTML - NOT WORKING
CSS - WORKING
JS - WORKING

Again I'll open the invitation to you, if you would like to remote into my computer and test this out yourself you are welcome to, let's try and get this issue resolved

UPDATE
I finally got the the browser to reload on save for .cshtml

The issue is that my projects are on my D drive under D:\Programming\Projects
I then moved one of my projects onto the C drive and it instantly worked

I'm not sure why it doesn't work on another drive as yet... I'll keep investigating, could be a permission problem?

We are using proxying requests through to IIS Express via https://github.com/webpack/webpack-dev-server. When we access a page that has been proxy'd through when this extension is active, VS crashes.

Best info I could dig up by attaching another copy of VS:

System.ArgumentNullException was unhandled
Message: An unhandled exception of type 'System.ArgumentNullException' occurred in mscorlib.dll
Additional information: Value cannot be null.

I'm not actually fussed about this extension working in this scenario (I imagine it's some limitation with proxying web socket requests), and webpack-dev-server is fulfilling this role, however would be good for VS to keep on trucking.

At the moment, having to enable/disable this plugin depending on the particular project and the tools used.
