Spring boot app debug static file reload

Answered

Hi, I'm using IntelliJ with a simple spring boot app (no web facet), and it seems that when I run with intellij, the static files do not reload unless I do a "rebuild project". If I just use maven on the command line with "mvn spring-boot:run", then the static files reload fine whenever they are edited. How can I make intellij reload the static files automatically?

Ok those features looks pretty cool. By the way, the "Spring" run target currently works for spring boot projects, except the static files don't reload. Actually, I found a workaround, which is to just use a maven run target, and then it works the same as if I just did "mvn spring-boot:run"

Hmm - that workaround doesn't work for me when I do this from IDEA, however when I start the app via mvn spring-boot:run from the command line, it all works fine. IDEA 2016.

Nick, please make sure the folder containing the static resources is marked as "Resources Root".

Is that a Spring Boot setting, Maven Setting or IDEA setting ?

 

In IDEA 2016.1, all I can see is a "Content Root", or I can mark a folder as "Resources" however I can't see how to mark it as a "Resources Root".

Yes, please mark it as "Resources".
