SiteContents not being persisted to the generator? about fornax HOT 4 CLOSED

Ok, this is tricky. Basically, as far as I understand, the issue is a result of including types.fsx file multiple times - it's included in every loader and every generator (through includes.fsx file). Every time you include types.fsx file new Site record type is defined and as a result, those are actually different types (if you'd inspect all that through reflection you'd notice the fully qualified names of types are different).

The solution to that is to include types.fsx file normally only once (just in globalloader.fsx for example), and for all other files it needs to be added in #if !FORNAX section - this will "power" editor tooling but won't be actually evaluated in underlying F# Interactive session that Fornax creates.

----------EDIT----------
I see, looks like I was wrong.

FTR the error I was getting on fornax watch is:

`An unexpected error happend:
System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException:
Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.

--->
System.Exception: Could not get FSI_0016.Types+Site

--- End of inner exception stack trace ---.`

Sorry, I'm not sure why I didn't include the stack trace originally 🤦

Is it possible to add break points to Fornax, or would I have to clone, build and run it like that?

Thanks for looking at this @Krzysztof-Cieslak!

I'll have a look at doing that and see where I get with it. Now I understand the use of the #if !FORNAX directive too, awesome.
