Developer help

[seballot]

Hello !

I'm running etherpad locally with dirtyDB and running sh bin/run.sh

When I edit a javascript file, I always need to stop the server and start it again for my changes to be loaded, which is very annoying... What am I doing wrong? I did try with h bin/debugRun.sh but it does the same thing

Also, a strange issue I got from today, the space bar does not work anymore... I tried with develop branch, even with master at 1.8.0, still happening... Any idea? On online etherpad instance I do not have this problem (so not coming from my keyboard)

See this screencast : after writing "usingwhitespace" I did press the space bar multiple time, first time it goes back to start of the line, then move cursor to the right, then come back to the start and so on...

Yes, you have to restart. The good news is that as long as your changes did not touch any dependency in package.json, a direct Etherpad restart can be very quick. Have a look at #3711 (comment).

You were hit by #3728. This was solved in #3729 (and this is the reason for which a was slow to review your recent PR). I think you also have to clear your browser's cache. If you still experience the problem (which I hope not), please write there.

Hope it helps.

Thanks @muxator this should be resolved now.

Oh great, thanks for your quick reply !
fastRun in very nice, and sorry for the space bar, I should have search in the issues. I only checked the recent commit but I did not make the link with "contentcollector"

and this is the reason for which a was slow to review your recent PR

Ah ah, you have a strange conception of the slowness !! looked quite fast to me :)
Ok, going back to css refactor..
