Autoreloader looping Django 2.2

[Dan]

I'm using Django 2.2 on a new project and suddenly the autoreloader is looping when I change a file

DEBUG:

/urls.py. is_changed: False, is_new: True

/urls.py previous mtime: None, current mtime: 1556221457.0

/urls.py notified as changed. Signal results: [(<function translation_file_changed at 0x7fd933e05d90>, None)].

/urls.py changed, reloading

It says the file is new but it was just changed - it refers to translation_file_changed but I have no translation files in my project.

My project is on a virtualbox shared folder, if I start a new project from scratch it works ok and previous versions of Django work fine.

I tried using watchman + pywatchman and it doesn't seem to work at all, I dont think it works with shared virtualbox folders. 

Is there anyway I can get this working with 2.2 can I use the old reloader or do I need to revert to 2.1?

Forgot to mention that this is on a mac osx host with ubuntu 16 virtualbox guest, I'm not sure that has something to do with it?

Hi Dan,

Can you try the stable/2.2.x git branch? it contains a couple of post-2.1 fixes to the reloading code which will get released as 2.2.1 in a few days AFAIK..

Also, is the folder  where urls-py is located shared between the host and the VM in some way? What file system type is the host using?

Hi Ramiro

Thanks for answering.

Tried stable 2.2.1 and it looks like it is working ok now.

The folder is a virtualbox shared folder, shared from an osx host.

Thanks for your help!
