Code reloading stopped working consistently when updating HTML templates about docker-django-example HOT 4 CLOSED

This has been resolved in f706a63.

It was due to Django 4.1+ caching templates by default even with DEBUG = True set.

Thanks @jefftriplett for pointing me to the changelog at https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/releases/4.1/#templates when I tweeted this out https://twitter.com/nickjanetakis/status/1626938661500604417.

At least now I know I'm not crazy because these templates did reload in the past.

If anyone has a better implementation than what I did in that commit please open a PR.

Hey @nickjj 👋

I'm assuming you've already played with the compose options

tty

and

std-in

For attaching stdin (similar to when forcing a tty on ssh connections)

Sorry I've not dug deep but wanted to throw those out there incase you've not turned that stone

Hi @chrisjsimpson,

Thanks, tty: true is set and stdin_open: true has no effect (it's not in my compose file but I did try it just now).

At some point in the past all of this worked in this app. My Flask, Rails, Node and Phoenix examples all work with HTML template, code and asset changes using the same Docker settings across the board too.

One step I should take is to start checking out older versions of this code and identify the last known good state. I'll probably start by looking for commits that change the versions of gunicorn and django.

So this is fun, I was able to determine why it was so inconsistent and how it sort of worked before the patch.

Before this patch if you edited any HTML template it would not get updated. However if you edited a Python file such as the settings file after editing the HTML then the HTML would update. While testing things initially I reduced variables by hard coding DEBUG = True but that action caused a Python file update, the code itself wasn't important. That's how I arrived at inconsistent behavior. In the end this likely means Django will reload cached templates if Python files are updated.
