Material for MkDocs site not automatically refreshing on save

[lukaverlaan]

Hi there!

Today I followed James Willets "Material for MkDocs: Full Tutorial To Build And Deploy Your Docs Portal" tutorial on YouTube . It was really clear and taught me everything I needed to know, but I noticed one issue.

Whenever I save any file, doesn't matter if it's the mkdocs.yml or any .md file, the running server (using mkdocs serve to start), doesn't automatically refresh. On my desktop everything works perfectly fine, but on my laptop I'm having issues.

I've searched through the web and used AI to try and find a solution, but didn't manage to find one. Is there anyone that could help me out so I don't have to manually restart my mkdocs server every time I make a small edit?

Thanks in advance!

Greetings,

Hi @lukaverlaan,
there is a bug in an upstream dependency:

• mkdocs serve doesn't reload upon change anymore #8478

For now please go back to a lower version of mkdocs-material

pip install mkdocs-material==9.6.20 --force-reinstall

Oh amazing, going back to an older version fixed my issue indeed, thank you a lot for your fast and correct answer!
