Hello, I am having some trouble with setting up hot reload in Kotlin/JS. I am developing a browser extension and running the jsBrowserDevelopmentWebpack gradle task. If I run the Gradle task by manually (and WITHOUT the --continuous flag), the folder build/dist/js/developmentExecutable gets updated with the newest .js file and newest resources. However, if instead I run the task WITH the --continuous flag, the task correctly says it's recompiling, however, the resulting .js file inside build/dist/js/developmentExecutable does not get updated. Here's the output when ran with the --continous flag:

9:24:51 PM: Executing 'jsBrowserDevelopmentWebpack --continuous'...

As you can see, it correctly detects the changed file, then it runs everything from compileKotlinJs up to jsBrowserDevelopmentWebpack, but the final .js file is not updated...

Edit: it seems that everything gets updated correctly up to jsDevelopmentExecutableCompileSync, because the directory build/compileSync/js/main/developmentExecutable/kotlin gets updated with the latest .js file content. So, it seems to me that the last step (actually merging these intermediate files and putting them in a distributed single .js) seems to be the issue here

YouTrack issue is better!

@Edoardo Luppi I thought this was intended behavior
