Bug recompile on controllers files does not working

[isAlmogK]

When I edit a controller and then refresh my view I'm not getting the updated code, it's not updating attached gif showing the issue, due to the plugin once disabled works as expected

@AlmogRnD thanks for reporting this issue with the gif. do you have a repo that I could use to test this?

I don't have a repo

what triggers the elixir app to recompile and show the changes? is it a node script or something else?

I'm running into the same problem. When I have this plugin enabled, none of my code recompiles anymore. This can be reproduced by setting up a new Phoenix project (mix phx.new hello), whenever you change any code in a controller and make a new request (refreshing the page for instance) it should recompile the code, but it doesn't. When I disable the extension it works fine again. It took me quite a while to figure out what was causing it though 😅.

I'm really lost with this issue. @TimonVS Is there a repo that I can test this out with?

@iampeterbanjo happens to me too. Is it because Credo compiles the code already, and the Phoenix code reloader doesn't pick it up?

I might try a minimal repo later.

hi @myknbani, I think it might be related to this issue #25

From what I understand, there is some sort of collision happening when Elixir is being compiled. Setting an environment variable to set a different build path when Credo is run, in the context of this extension, could be the fix.
