Tomcat hot deployment not working after 2017.2 update
Answered
After updating to 2017.2, my Tomcat 7 hot deployment no longer works on application update. I have to CMD + F10 to force it. I have no idea what has changed, and I doubt it's a bug as I cannot find anyone else with this problem. I can confirm I'm deploying the war exploded at server startup.

Double check the Update settings in the run/debug configuration, see https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/updating-applications-on-application-servers.html.
If the issue persists, file a bug at https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues/IDEA with idea.log attached (https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/articles/207241085). Also attach the full output from the Tomcat run configuration console window.
If the issue is specific to the project, it would be great if you could attach a sample project that reproduces it.
