Bsb -w seems to freeze in bs-platform@2.2.2

Hi,

Recently updated bs-platform to 2.2.2, and now bsb -w (as well as bsb -make-world -w) seems to stop working:

C:\Code\ReasonML\cra-test> bsb -init my-new-project -theme basic-reason
Making directory my-new-project
Symlink bs-platform in C:\Code\ReasonML\cra-test\my-new-project
C:\Code\ReasonML\cra-test\my-new-project\node_modules\bs-platform -> C:\Users\ayarovoy\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\bs-platform
PS C:\Code\ReasonML\cra-test> cd .\my-new-project\
PS C:\Code\ReasonML\cra-test\my-new-project> bsb -clean-world
Cleaning... 3 files.
PS C:\Code\ReasonML\cra-test\my-new-project> bsb -make-world

PS C:\Code\ReasonML\cra-test\my-new-project> bsb -w

Rebuilding since just get started

And it stacks after that.

I’ve checked with version 2.2.0 - same result. But version 2.1.0 works like a charm.

I’m new to reasonml, so don’t even know where to look for logs or something which could add any information.

Hey! Can you file an issue on github please?

#3

Sure, will do. Decided to try here first, as maybe I’m doing something wrong.

#4

Sorry, just to confirm, from the above snippet I’m not seeing an error. Does bsb fail to rebuild the project when you make a change in the source code? You can test by opening the source and the output JS files side-by-side and visually looking for changes. Bsb is so fast that sometimes it’s easy to miss that it’s actually finished recompiling.

#5

Just checked again, for this case “bsb -make-world” correctly recompiles js file. But if I run “bsb -w” or “bsb -make-world -w” and after that change .re file, .bs.js stays the same (as well as no changes in browser).

And in version 2.1.0 I immediately after chenging .re file saw something happening in console (and saw changes in bs.js, and in browser). I did the upgrading-downgrading several times for my other test project to confirm the issue.

And I carefully checked that I’m upgrading-downgrading global bsb installation as well as npm link bs-config.

But bsb is really extremely fast, that is one of the reasons I’m considering it for our next project.

#6

I understand that it might be some windows related issue, and reasonml is not really supported for windows. But 2.1.0 works well.

#7

Ah, I see, yeah it’s possible that 2.2.2 has had a regression on Windows. I’ll try to check it out. There may already be a GitHub issue filed for this.

Edit: ah, I see you filed it, cool.

#8

I think we had encountered that issue and had a “fix” for it which basically reverted another fix: https://github.com/BuckleScript/bucklescript/pull/2426

Y’all should read the thread, not sure how to fix both issues haha
