PANIC on hot-reload when modifying imported modules (release ,debug) and HUGE memory leak (debug). about bun HOT 3 OPEN

@BeyondMagic text does have a loader.

A possible workaround: start Bun with bun --loader=.html:text ./path.ts

from bun.

Hello, @Jarred-Sumner, you are right! Although I should have specified it better, using the text loader in a custom plugin does not work! It gives the following error:

1 | (function (entry, parameters, fetcher)
                        ^
error: Expected loader to be one of "js", "jsx", "object", "ts", "tsx", "toml", or "json"
      at requestFetch (:1:21)
      at requestInstantiate (:1:21)
      at requestSatisfyUtil (:1:21)
1 | (function (entry, parameters, fetcher)

I have no desire not work on this, if you give a guidance to where to look at, I'll attempt to fix #5710.

A possible workaround: start Bun with bun --loader=.html:text ./path.ts

This works for loading the content of the HTML files as text and no need for a plugin! Thanks.

However, the issue at hand persists when using --hot, if I save the file using a text editor, what happens is probably what you described here and Bun still crashes! Without debug, the following log is given and I have to force-exit the CLI:

error: Cannot find module "./page.html" from "/home/dream/projects/personal/wdwad/index.ts"

This seems rather trickier to solve, I tried adding std.time.sleep(5000000000); in many HotReload functions in the source-code, in loops of WatchList for example, and still after the 500 milliseconds it still crashes! The problem seems to occur before, when it is signaled by inotify of changes.

Possible workarounds:

1. The problem can be mitigated in vim or neovim using :set noswapfile as shown by @brw.

2. The problem can be further mitigated adding a delay of 50 miliseconds into the function reload of /src/watcher.zig and compiling the debug version.
