dotnet-watch

I guess here: https://docs.asp.net/en/latest/dnx/commands.html#global-commands-details

This might be a good spot for @tuespetre methods for setting up IIS (not Express) with dnx-watch.

Unfortunately I believe dnx-watch is broken for RC1 and it is getting replaced for RC2. @victorhurdugaci can you confirm?

[victorhurdugaci]

dnx-watch is not broken :) The only big known issue is when running on OSX on CoreCLR: aspnet/DotNetTools#21 and the CLR team is working on a fix.

Also, can you document how to run dnx from a parent folder? It doesn't seem to have a -p as dnx doex.

Holding off on this until we see what this tool looks like in the .NET CLI world.

@tuespetre and I discussed his scenario of using watch with IIS 10 local for his build-and-refresh experience at tuespetre/dnx-watch-iis#2 ... and I hope he'll take that forward with the changes in RC2. It rocks for a shop scenario where a normal IIS server isn't available or desired. When the time comes, I hope you'll decide to link him in somehow or have him or someone write up his approach for the official docs.

DNX is going away with the move to .NET CLI, but there will still be a watch command/tool. Need to figure out if this tool will be part of the .NET CLI and if the docs belong here or somewhere else.

@tuespetre If you end up refactoring for a possible dotnet cli watch system for local IIS and you need a test 🐒; ping me, and I'll give your revision a shot when you get there.

[tuespetre]

@guardrex cool, I will probably be waiting for RC2 to revisit it

[danroth27]

Dropping this to P1 since this is a tool and not technically part of the runtime.
