More detailed installation instructions?

Love the idea of this gem! ❤️

I followed the README and my browser console says [Hotwire::Livereload] Websocket connected. But when I change any file, nothing gets reloaded.

Whatever it is, it's probably user error. But I followed the README and don't see anything in the Rails logs or browser console.

Any additional installation instructions (perhaps related to ActionCable) would be appreciated 🙌

Some additional info:

Redis shows 1661027312.812270 [1 [::1]:54908] "subscribe" "hotwire-reload" on page load so it seems like ActionCable is correctly connected to Redis. Changing any files does not trigger any other Redis events.

Hey Marc,

It sounds like ActionCable and Redis are correctly connected and there are some issues with detecting file changes. When file changed you should see the following messages in Rails logs:

[ActionCable] Broadcasting to hotwire-reload: {:changed=>["/Users/kirill/Code/demo-app/app/views/posts/index.html.erb"], :force_reload=>false}
Hotwire::Livereload::ReloadChannel transmitting {"changed"=>["/Users/kirill/Code/demo-app/app/views/posts/index.html.erb"], "force_reload"=>false} (via streamed from hotwire-reload)

1. What is the path for the file you trying to change?
2. Could you please share a custom configuration for Hotwire Livereload (if any)?
3. Just in case, make sure there's no file tmp/livereload-disabled.txt cause it's blocking livereload.

I've narrowed it down to Rails::Server not being defined for my app. I use overmind with puma and rails server doesn't seem to run. I never noticed it before, as I don't use it.

Either way, it seems like the issue might be due to my specific installation rather than the gem.

@kirillplatonov The new version works for me now. Thank you for the fix! 💖
