Reload used to work for my async web apps a few days ago. Now it says “Reload successful,” but the app keeps running with the old code and doesn’t restart. Non-async apps still reload correctly. What’s going on with async reloads, and how can I force a real restart?
Having the same issue with a Flask-SocketIO app.
Tried using the bash console (as shown in https://help.pythonanywhere.com/pages/FlaskSocketIO/), but it also fails to trigger a restart (even though it prints the statement saying that app reloaded).
What if you delete and re-create?
I have two apps stuck like this. It’s not just a single webapp, it’s both. If there’s any chance they won’t start back up properly after delete and re-create, I will not take that risk. It took you over 2 days to respond; if I re-create them and the same issue happens, I will not wait another 2 days for a reply.
So please explain why this is happening across both of my apps. Why is it affecting other users too. What is your plan to fix it. Deleting and re-creating is a lengthy process for us, especially when this looks like an issue on your side.
Tried deleting the webapp and recreating from the same files but still stuck at the older version, the only solution I found so far was to change recreating the deployment to a different domain name but that's not feasible =S
Might try deleting and recreating with the files uploaded to a different path, not sure if that would do anything
I too have the same issue. Reloads do not seem to work and reflect new changes. I was getting an old version from my previous update. Tried deleting and recreating all to no avail. New app just shows server error with no error logs. Deleting the old app files from the console too did not seem to delete the files. I had to delete from the files tab on the dashboard
Sorry about that. Reloading should work again for async web apps.
