Minor Bugs

[wysisoft]

Launching a new react project, I updated the app.jsx file and it seemed like vite refreshed but the browser tab does not auto refresh,and I need to manually refresh to see changes.

also, I did an npm i zod (a challenging import), also npm i dexie (more simple), the npm console says added 1 package but I don't see package.json get updated and I don't actually get the files in node_modules

Hey, thanks for the detailed report.

On the browser not auto-refreshing, yeah, this is a known issue with HMR (hot module reloading). It comes down to how we're handling WebSockets under the hood. It's on our radar and will be looked into.

For the npm installs (zod, dexie), the packages were probably actually installed and package.json did update, it's just not being reflected in the UI. This is a downside of using our own web editor rather than something pre-built. (#3 (comment))

If you want to verify the install went through, you can run cat package.json in the terminal and you should see the packages listed there.

Sorry for the rough edges, appreciate you flagging these.

@R1ck404 unfortunatley the installation is not being reflected in the package json even when you run cat package.json in your terminal, the output shows it adds a package but its not actually being added.

That is indeed very weird, I'll look into it, thank you for letting me know about this issue.

I don't know if it applies to scelar or wzed, but I am working to embed nodepod inside of vscode.web right now

The package.json in root directory is not updating and needs reopening the project.

Steps to reproduce the error:

• Created a next project using npx create-next-app@latest
• Moved all files to the root directory after default deleting index.js and package.json
• Tried opening the package.json and it still shows the default text
  { "name": "my-project", "version": "1.0.0" }

Although cat package.json shows the correct output this time.
