Issue with shortcode change not being picked up

1

I am trying out creating my own shortcodes. One thing that is however baffling me is that sometimes when I change a shortcode the change is not reflected in the live website.

I run “hugo server -D” and am currently at version 0.77

Situation:

I have two shortcodes.

wrap.html

{{ .Inner }}

And

photo.html

<figure itemprop="associatedMedia" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/ImageObject">
  <a href="{{ .Get "href"}}" itemprop="contentUrl" data-size="{{ .Get "largeDim"}}" data-medium-url="{{ .Get "smallUrl" }}" data-medium-size="{{ .Get "smallDim" }}">
    <img alt="{{ .Get "alt"}}" data-size="{{ .Get "thumbSize"}}" itemprop="thumbnail" src="{{ .Get "thumbUrl"}}">
  </a>
  <figcaption itemprop="caption description">
      {{ .Get "caption"}}
      {{ if (not (eq (.Get "copyright") "")) }}
      <span itemprop="copyrightHolder">&#169; {{ .Get "copyright"}} all rights reserved</span>
      {{ end }}
  </figcaption>
</figure>

And a md page that contains something like this:

{{< wrap >}}

{{< photo href="/images/Drone_Pictures/large/20201009_132117_1600x1199.jpg" largeDim="1600x1199" smallUrl="/images/Drone_Pictures/small/20201009_132117_800x600.jpg" smallDim="800x600" alt="None" thumbSize="256x256" thumbUrl="/images/Drone_Pictures/thumb/20201009_132117_256x256.jpg" caption="" copyright="KvB 2020" >}}

{{< photo href="/images/Drone_Pictures/large/20201009_132125_1600x1199.jpg" largeDim="1600x1199" smallUrl="/images/Drone_Pictures/small/20201009_132125_800x600.jpg" smallDim="800x600" alt="None" thumbSize="256x256" thumbUrl="/images/Drone_Pictures/thumb/20201009_132125_256x256.jpg" caption="" copyright="KvB 2020" >}}
{{< /wrap >}}

This is actually from HugoPhotoSwipe, which I found here: https://github.com/GjjvdBurg/HugoPhotoSwipe/wiki#gallery-configuration

I wanted to take this further and modify the shortcode to style the page the way I want. So I for example added something to the “wrap” shortcode and did see the page change.

But if I add something to the photo shortcode this does not get reflected in the rendered page, unless I stop and start the server.

Is this because the shortcode is nested, and thus does not get rendered?

Probably.

Hugo keeps track of which templates are in use by a given Page’s Content, which can get rather complex when you consider shortcodes, render hooks, the .Render func and also transitive usage (e.g. inclusion of other pages’ content via GetPage…

I don’t remember exaclyt how this works re shortcodes, but there may be a hole in the logic here. Could you raise an issue on GitHub?
