HMR not working with Windows 10 WSL (Windows Linux Subsystem)

[borsemayur2]

I've installed deno and aleph on ubuntu OS (using Windows 10 WSL). HMR is not working for some reason.

@borsemayur2 Please provide more details such as Aleph version and Deno version.

[borsemayur2]

Versions:

1. Deno: 1.7.1 (both Win 10 and Ubuntu WSL)
2. Aleph: v0.3.0-alpha.4 (both Win 10 and Ubuntu WSL)

HMR works with Windows 10 install but not with WSL

Hmmm, strange. Maybe something having to do with listening for file changes on WSL.

@borsemayur2 Are there any errors in the browser console?

[borsemayur2]

No. Console says "[HMR] listening for file changes..."

not sure whether is deno fs watch api problem in WSL, will test on it. @shadowtime2000 can you please look into it?

@borsemayur2 thanks for the details, will fix it ASAP

[borsemayur2]

Okay. Let me know if I can help in fixing this issue.

I don't use WSL (I embrace the full power of the cmd :p) but I will try to set it up to reproduce asap.

Don't worry @shadowtime2000, it's pretty simple to install, even with the manual way.

Updates: The issue is with WSL and not Aleph. File changes for /mnt (windows FS instead of Linux) not supported. The app needs to be setup in Linux path. HMR not working on WSL 2
