Hey, first time using Kotlin wasm, trying to run compose web app. Should the webpage hot-reload, when running wasmJsBrowserDevelopmentRun -t? I see the page blink, so I guess it reloads, but changes are not applied for some reason.

It's just reloading the static assets like index.html and anything else but it's not recompiling Kotlin, at least in my experience

Did you try to add a dependency, in your `libs.versions.toml`:

composeHotReload = { id = "org.jetbrains.compose.hot-reload", version = "1.0.0-alpha05" }

and use it in gradle.build.kts, next to your compose:

plugins {
    alias(libs.plugins.compose.compiler)
    alias(libs.plugins.composeHotReload)

and:

composeCompiler {
    featureFlags.add(ComposeFeatureFlag.OptimizeNonSkippingGroups)
}

Not yet, will give it a go. Ty

AFAIK, composeHotReload only runs on jvm desktop target but not other target

After searching and trying different things, I found one way to achieve that:
./gradlew wasmJsBrowserDevelopmentRun --watch-fs -t

You can always find more parameters by trying ./gradlew wasmJsBrowserDevelopmentRun --help

After changing your files, try CMD/Control + S, this should trigger the assets reload + give a signal that a file had changed which will recompile the code.
