#Version 6 beta Routing HMR bug

I am testing out using thr Astro 6.x beta release. Following the blog tutorial, I noticed that I need to restart the dev server every time I add a new route to the project.

This behavior does not occur in the current 5.x releases.

Specifically, when I add a new route to 5.x, the hmr works properly, no dev server refresh needed when adding a new.

I started cutting an issue on the github, but stackblitz doesnt currently support the latest Node v22.x or Node v24.x yet.

Is this expected behavior? Otherwise is it okay to include a link to a Google IDX environment rather than a stack-blitz?

Thanks!

Hi, thanks for trying out the v6! AFAIK, those issues should be fixed soon:

regarding new pages:https://github.com/withastro/astro/pull/15260 is already merged and should be available in the next release (I don't know when exactly)
the stackblitz issue is WIP https://github.com/withastro/astro/pull/15264 so maybe in the next release or after

For reporting issues, while we usually recommend Stackblitz, if you create a minimal repro in a GitHub repository this is also fine. IDX is a bit more annoying because IIRC this requires an account and so not everyone can help reproduce/fix the issue.

Also noting that we have a thread for Astro v6 beta where developers are more likely to see the issues if needed https://discord.com/channels/830184174198718474/1449132280432951398 (but a support thread is also fine, and even better sometimes. We can transmit these issues!)
