Trying to run this with scotty results in the app reloading every request.

[markhibberd]

The command running is:

cabal exec -- ./tmp/.cabal-sandbox/bin/reserve -p 10080 main/dev.hs

Where dev.hs just runs 'scotty 10080 '.

When going to the page it just reloads on every request (a sample):

Interrupted.
Setting phasers to stun... (port 10080) (ctrl-c to quit)
GET /images/aaa.png
  Accept: image/webp,*/*;q=0.8
  Status: 200 OK 0.000052s
Interrupted.
Setting phasers to stun... (port 10080) (ctrl-c to quit)
GET /css/reset.css
  Accept: text/css,*/*;q=0.1
  Status: 200 OK 0.000068s
Interrupted.
Setting phasers to stun... (port 10080) (ctrl-c to quit)
GET /css/typography.css
  Accept: text/css,*/*;q=0.1
  Status: 200 OK 0.00006s
Interrupted.
Setting phasers to stun... (port 10080) (ctrl-c to quit)
GET /css/base.css
  Accept: text/css,*/*;q=0.1
  Status: 200 OK 0.000062s
Interrupted.

Any ideas, I assume it is something to do with how I am starting scotty maybe.

Hey, this is just a missing feature!

Currently we go for the conservative approach of always reloading on every new request. This has the advantage that we never serve a stale application.

If we only want to reload on modifications we need to decide what files to watch (probably making it configurable). I just pushed some mock up code that watches *.hs and *.lhs files. @markhibberd would you be interested to give that a try and provide feedback? The code is on branch reload-on-modifications (see #4).

@sol I've been using that feature for quite a long time now and it works well
