aspnetcore: CLI Hot reload Blazor wasm just doesn't work.
Is there an existing issue for this?
- I have searched the existing issues
Describe the bug
There were many issues about dotnet watch not working with blazor wasm. #38561, #36723, #40091 etc. It was mentioned there that the issue is fixed in .net 6.0.2. But it’s not. The issue is there still. Furthermore, there are no responses now on those issues when it was informed that in .net6.0.2 it’s not working. Very disappointing behavior.

I confirm that there is a timeout issue regarding build times.
I’m using intel mac, and I have to close everything, and run the backing api’s in a remote box, because otherwise my machine will get slow, therefore hot-reload not working. Also I have to run dotnet watch twice. The second one is the one that works.
When it works the output is:
dotnet watch 🔥 Hot reload capabilities: BaselineWhen it doesn’t
dotnet watch 🔥 Hot reload capabilities: .Another thing that might affect hot reload working or not, is the boot time of the application. So I set my startup url to a /blank page.
Combining these two things (remote backing api, /blank page) I manage to get hot-reload working.
I would first make sure there are no script load errors / connection errors in the browser web tools. IIRC, I had some issues there because the developer certifcate was not trusted in Firefox. One of the scripts is responsible for the hot reload functionality.
Then use
dotnet watchinstead ofdotnet watch run.If also not working with cleared bin/obj folders, and verbose output (
dotnet watch -v) does not print anything useful, my last resort would be to try to build dotnet watch myself and increase the timeout I have linked above. But I don’t know if compiling dotnet watch is easy enough.Me too, sometimes I get “Hot reload capabilities: Baseline.” (hot reload works) and other times I get “Hot reload capabilities: .” (hot reload does not work).
Occasionally it helps to delete all build artifacts and rebuild everything. However, if it is really a build time issue as @ziaulhasanhamim suggested, deleting the build artifacts should make it worse … its confusing and quite annoying 😦
Edit: I am working under Kubuntu 22.04 using vscode.
I am experiencing this too. “No hot reload changes to apply.” is very wrong. It is so close, it just needs to apply the changes to my .razor file, push the new client code etc.
Thanks for contacting us. We’re moving this issue to the
.NET 7 Planningmilestone for future evaluation / consideration. Because it’s not immediately obvious that this is a bug in our framework, we would like to keep this around to collect more feedback, which can later help us determine the impact of it. We will re-evaluate this issue, during our next planning meeting(s). If we later determine, that the issue has no community involvement, or it’s very rare and low-impact issue, we will close it - so that the team can focus on more important and high impact issues. To learn more about what to expect next and how this issue will be handled you can read more about our triage process here.Open question? What is the question? And why author feedback was added? What feedback do I need to provide?
