Describe the bug
In our .net 8 project we are using dotnet watch to make use of live updates for UI changes in our MVC application. This process works well except sometimes when hot reloading is not working anymore. When this occurs changing some text in a cshtml file does not trigger an reload of the web browser. The output of dotnet watch for any file within the project is something like this:
File changed: ./Views/x/y.cshtml.
No hot reload changes to apply.
It is also worth mentioning that this detection is quite slow (seconds) compared to the usual detection within milliseconds.
Now we have already found a a quick fix that might lead to the cause. At least "Rider" (Maybe also other IDEs) sometimes add new/changed files to the csproj file as an ItemGroup like so:
<ItemGroup>
<AdditionalFiles Include="Areas\Admin\Views\x\y.cshtml" />
</ItemGroup>
When something like that happens hot reloading does not work anymore (like written above) until this line is removed.
Expected Behavior
Expected behavior is, that dotnet watch always works and is not easily broken by such changes or that some more logs are written to help to solve the issue.
