support

Environment:

$ hugo env
hugo v0.123.4-21a41003c4633b142ac565c52da22924dc30637a+extended windows/amd64 BuildDate=2024-02-26T16:33:05Z VendorInfo=gohugoio
GOOS="windows"
GOARCH="amd64"
GOVERSION="go1.22.0"
github.com/sass/libsass="3.6.5"
github.com/webmproject/libwebp="v1.3.2"

How to reproduce:

Command prompt 1:

git clone --single-branch --branch temp2  https://github.com/deining/vitalcontrol.de.git
cd vitalcontrol.de
hugo server

Open this page in your browser for preview:

http://localhost:1313/docs/listen/frischmelker/

Now open another command prompt and issue there:

git checkout temp1

Hugo detects the change and a browser refresh happens:

Change detected, rebuilding site (#7).
2024-02-28 12:45:37.637 +0100
Source changed /docs/listen/bilder/alarmstatusaendern2.png

Change detected, rebuilding site (#8).
2024-02-28 12:45:38.111 +0100

Total in 87 ms

The two changed .png images are not refreshed inside the page, however.

With hugo v0.122.0, everything works as expected.

From the next version, 0.123.0, Hugo server started rendering from disk instead of memory. I found various things that wouldn’t refresh with this new default behaviour.

However you can avoid this by adding the new --renderToMemory flag when running the server.

hugo server --renderToMemory

This is currently listed under the hugo command in the docs so easy to miss. I assume it should be under hugo server.

It’s under both. On this page…
