Prevent multiple reloads

[adamchainz]

On my DB Buddy project I'm seeing many reloads for a single file changes. It looks like watchman is signalling the same file changing repeatedly.

Maybe something needs changing in this project, or we need to add debounce logic.

Any updates for the debounce? I see that with LSP and tools that lint the code the page get multiple reloads.

There’s a 50ms denounce:

django-browser-reload/src/django_browser_reload/views.py

Line 46 in c681128

RELOAD_DEBOUNCE_TIME = 0.05 # seconds

can you try adjusting that in your project to see if it helps? Maybe we can make it configurable.

[Mte90]

As I can see avdon't works, I changed to 10 seconds instead the refresh is like fast.
Maybe because runserver refresh for all of them?

[adamchainz]

Ah right, if runserver restarts, the debounce does not apply. Can you describe your situation a bit more? Is your runserver restarting multiple times?

[Mte90]

Yes runserver restart multiple times because I have pylint/pydocstyle and so on that on every save change the file so runserver is execute multiple times.
Maybe is better a queue in runserver?

[adamchainz]

That would need implementing in Django itself.

we could perhaps add a debounce on the JavaScript side for restart events only. Would you like to give that a try?
