Is there anyone here who managed to get watch to work in Ktor? I've been trying for ages but it never works. Right now I get Module function provided as lambda cannot be unlinked for reload even though I copied the exact same code from the documentation site:

fun main(args: Array<String>) {
    embeddedServer(
            Netty,
            watchPaths = listOf("mydir"),
            port = PORT,
            module = Application::module
    ).start(true)
}

What am I doing wrong?

[addamsson]

as it turns out the watch doesn't work with an overloaded module function:

[addamsson]

@kotlin.jvm.JvmOverloads
fun Application.module(testing: Boolean = false)

[addamsson]

is there a workaround for this?

[Michael]

is the error a runtime or compile time error?

[addamsson]

runtime

[addamsson]

it only happens if my module function is overloaded
