@jacksteamdev bug or feature?

[jacksteamdev]

@vovsemenv The article encourages the reader to try JS HMR, but doesn't specify what changes to make.

Please provide a detailed description of how JS HMR doesn't work for you. 🙏

In my case, first I have to remove the "dist" folder to see the changes. HMR doesn't work even with CSS changes.

Upd: I tried to do all the steps from your article as is. HMR doesn't work at all.
For example, I did changes and saved them. In the terminal I see:

18:13:14 [vite] hmr update /src/App.jsx
18:13:14 [crx] files start ../../../../../dist
18:13:15 [crx] files ready in 1037ms

But the files in "dist/scr/" folder don't change.
I'm on Windows 10.

I'm on Windows 10.

@aptash Since HMR doesn't work at all in your case, this is probably a different issue. Probably related to #137, but could you please open a new issue specific to HMR in Windows? I don't want your use case lost in this issue.

18:13:14 [crx] files start ../../../../../dist

../../../../../dist makes me think that path resolution isn't working for Windows. Is a dist folder created five folders up?

@vovsemenv Closing b/c issue doesn't provide a minimal repro or even system info.
