Hot restart Main process, this means restart the entire Electron App. ✅
Hot reload Preload scripts, refresh Renderer process can be reload the corresponding Preload script, it's will become better DX. ✅
HMR Renderer process, power by Vite. ✅

Custom restart or reload by forge.config.js

// forge.config.js

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    {
      name: '@electron-forge/plugin-vite',
      config: {
        build: [
          {
            entry: 'src/main.js',
            config: 'vite.main.config.mjs',
            
            // Disable auto restart
            // restart: false,

            // Custome hot restart
            restart(args) {
              // Start Electron App after do something...
              args.restart();
            },
          },
          {
            entry: 'src/preload.js',
            config: 'vite.preload.config.mjs',

            // Hot reload
            restart(args) {
              // When a Preload script is rebuilt,
              // users can refresh the Renderer process by `ViteDevServer`,
              // instead of restart the entire Electron App.
              args.renderer.find(({ config }) => config.name === 'main_window').reload();
            },
          },
        ],
        renderer: [
          {
            name: 'main_window',
            config: 'vite.renderer.config.mjs',
          },
        ],
      },
    },
  ],
};

I tried this PR yesterday, and it looks great.
Just a small question, is there any way to not redirect my focus window to the restarted app?
I'm using WebStorm, everytime I changed something without over, the app restarted... And I don't want to close auto save function...

caoxiemeihao · 2023-04-05T13:15:28Z

At present, hot-restart just a simple-helper for dev.
Any time, if you want full custom the hot-restart logic you just emit rs command in the main process at the right time :)

process.emit('rs') // restart

enhance hot-start

GitMurf · 2023-04-24T14:48:57Z

I am very bad at understanding where PRs stand ;) is this finished and will be in the next release?

caoxiemeihao · 2023-04-25T01:09:06Z

This feature changes the API design of forge.config.js and it should be seriously considered.
In Vite, it might be better to use a peparate plugin, for now you can try to use the existing plugins.

@GitMurf 👉 Here

// vite.main.config.mjs    - For Electron Main
// vite.preload.config.mjs - For Preload Scripts

import { defineConfig } from 'vite';
import { restart } from 'electron-forge-plugin-vite/plugin';

// https://vitejs.dev/config
export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [restart()],
});

is this finished and will be in the next release?

@GitMurf We cannot guarantee that. Currently, it appears that @caoxiemeihao still has some features that have not been implemented, so we need to wait until they are completed before conducting a code review.

caoxiemeihao · 2023-04-26T06:50:06Z

Maybe the feature implement here is better 🤔

      });

      await viteDevServer.listen();
-      viteDevServer.printUrls();
+      // viteDevServer.printUrls();


question: is this commented out intentionally?

Yep! When I run test on my local machine, some verbose log print, so commented it.

Could we remove this before we ship it to users then?

The logs removed here are only for the CI test environment and will not affect the production environment.
Do we need to keep this log in the test environment?

No. If others need it, they can add it themselves.

+        renderer: {


Suggested change

renderer: {

renderers: {

Should this be renderers since it's a list of all renderer processes?

How about this API design? 🤔
It looks little simper.

export interface VitePluginBuildConfig { restart?: (rs: (options?: { reload: 'main_window' }) => void) => void; }

Usage

// Restart App restart(rs) { rs(); }; // Reload Renderer process restart(rs) { rs({ reload: 'main_window' }); };

I think @erickzhao means that because this is an array, it would be better to use plural for words.

+    process.stdin.emit('data', 'rs');


@MarshallOfSound pointed out to me that using stdin here is a bit of a hack here and there are edge cases where process.stdin could be null.

Ideally, we should instead expose additional start logic from the @electron-forge/core API to expose this functionality so that plugins can hook into it.

Okay! This does seem a little dangerous. 🚨
