Description

I'm on Windows, not sure when this started to happen but the development server is not restarting/reloading anymore when I change code in models.py. I'm not using pynotify.

Anubhav, can you reproduce this? If so, could you bisect the regression?

#23020 reports the same issue on Mac OS X, but I have no problems on Linux.

I can confirm it doesn't work and bisected it to 1bb8ccdb9e70bee35759f2ada4d661481852ab95 (Fixed pyinotify performance regression)

Summary: Development server not reloading on Windows → Development server not reloading with *.pyc files and without inotify

Ok, I can reproduce it on Ubuntu 12.04 by uninstalling python-inotify (pyinotify) and turning off sys.dont_write_bytecode (PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE). It's happening on all platforms, so I'll mark #23020 as a duplicate.

Needs tests: set

*.pyc filenames are ending up in _cached_filenames, and then being returned from the cache without being converted from .pyc to .py. This change caches the *.py filenames instead.
​https://github.com/django/django/pull/2913

I also noticed an inconsistency with _error_files. It's not clear if or when those should be added to _cached_filenames and if and when inotify needs to start watching them.

I would appreciate someone else writing a test case.

_error_files handles cases from #9589 and #8413. I bet those have also regressed.

I actually can't reproduce any _error_files issues. It seems that nowadays, either the check framework fully stops the process on models.py and admin.py errors before the autoreloader starts (would be nice to fix someday), or in other files, like views.py, it can handle re-importing the bad files without needing to reload.

I've slightly adapted the PR from Collin and added a one-line test in ​https://github.com/django/django/pull/2918
