File Changes Not Reflecting in Docker Container

Environment:

• OS: Windows
• WSL2: Enabled
• Docker: Using Docker Desktop with WSL2 integration

Description:
I am trying to set up this project locally using Docker with the provided development Docker Compose setup. However, I am facing an issue where changes made to the files on my local machine are not reflecting in the Docker container.

Docker Compose Configuration:

services:
  mongo:
    image: mongo:5.0
    volumes:
      - dbdata:/data/db
  app:
    build:
      context: ./
      dockerfile: Dockerfile
      target: development
    environment:
      - MONGO_URL=mongodb://mongo:27017/p5js-web-editor
    volumes:
      - .:/usr/src/app
      - /usr/src/app/node_modules
    ports:
      - '8000:8000'
      - '8002:8002'
    depends_on:
      - mongo
volumes:

Hey @AbhigyanSrivastav were you able to resolve this issue? Even i am facing the exact same issue need help

Hi , i have created a PR that i think should solve this problem , review required

[shauryatiwari1]

Hey! , I have checked this issue again and i think there is no problem now , the file syncing works even without ":cached" (though i think it will fix that if its not working without it) . I think that this issue #3246 can be closed now!!

File syncing in Docker Compose with WSL2 may experience performance bottlenecks. To enhance file sharing efficiency, We need to use :cached option in the volume configuration. This change needs to be done in the docker-compose.yml file.

Soon i will create a PR which will fix this issue.

Thanks for raising this issue!

I want to note that I think adding the flag might not be the full resolution to this issue, as it seems that adding the :cached flag is no longer needed as it's already set as a default in Docker Desktop 2.4.0.
