Flutter hot reload doesn't work on autosave in VSCode
The latest version of Dart & Flutter's VS Code extension is causing the issue.
v3.20 and above: You can enable hot reload on autosave in the latest version by setting Flutter Hot Reload On Save to always in your VSCode settings.
v3.19: They disabled hot reload on autosave completely.
v3.18 and below: The extension hot reloads automatically when auto saving.
It's in the change notes for this release. It's an intended feature! (http://dartcode.org/releases/v3-19)
It says:
#3033: Hot-reload-on-save no longer fires for Save events triggered by VS Code’s auto-save feature. Pressing Save manually will still trigger a reload even if there are no unsaved changes.
Doesn't anybody read the release notes? :)
Just delete your VS cache folder and VS temp folder.-> Press windows button and type:%temp%%appdata%-> Check your launch.json in .vscode folder. delete and recreate if necessary.
