For some strange reason, when I switch tabs in Atom, or open a file in Atom, it’s causing Phoenix to re-compile assets and reload the page, even when there are no changes to those files. For example: click a .vue file tab in Atom: 17:19:37 - info: compiled myfile.vue and 320 cached files into app…

Thanks, everyone. I appreciate the suggestions. I’m continuing to hunt this down. :slight_smile:

Ok, so the Atom package, “status-bar” is related to the tab-focus recompiling of static assets. However, there is still some relationship between Git (in general, not editor-related) and the watch/recompile process that I don’t understand. If I stage files (using ANY editor, OR command line git), i…

I didn’t find it with package-cop (although I did install that, so thanks for the recommendation). So, it seems that Atom is the culprit after all, in all cases. If I close Atom entirely, then staging files does not trigger the recompile when staging is initiated in any fashion. If Atom is open, a…

[image] soundstruck: So, it appears to be something funky with github and status-bar packages in Atom. I still don’t necessarily understand it, but at least I know what’s causing it! Next I’d definitely be running something like inotifywait (while atom is running) and have it print out every-…

:thinking: would fswatch work? I’ve never used anything like that before, so I’d be watching for changes in the same directories that brunch is watching, right? to see what change that brunch is reacting to?

the static asset stuff. .vue, .js, .css.

[image] soundstruck: the static asset stuff. .vue, .js, .css. In that case what part is reloading repeatedly, is it brunch itself repeatedly re-running (or webpack or whatever you use), or is it the webpage constantly reloading/refreshing?

If I have a browser open, then it also refreshes the page that’s in the browser. But otherwise, it’s recompiling with brunch.
