fix(metro): track imported CSS dependencies for hot reload - #676
Conversation
Collect Tailwind stylesheet dependencies in the native Metro entry so token-only edits trigger its existing uncached recompilation. Handle imported CSS as empty modules in plain Metro while preserving Expo and web handling and stylesheet fingerprints. Add compiler regressions and real Metro HMR tests for Expo and bare iOS/Android. The HMR fixture builds current sources in isolation and passes without repository dist output. Refs uni-stack#666

Increase the test deadlines.
The build and two sequential watcher waits can consume nearly 45 seconds. The 30-second child-process timeout and 35-second test-framework timeout can fail a valid slow run. Increase both deadlines:

Editing a token stylesheet imported by
cssEntryFiledoes not trigger native Metro hot reload because Tailwind's resolved stylesheet dependencies are discarded. The CSS entry only recompiles after another tracked file changes. This registers the imported stylesheets in Metro's dependency graph so token-only edits trigger the existing uncached recompilation path.Implements the approach agreed in discussion #666. Related: #248.
Changes
require(...)calls for local CSS imports, including nested imports and workspace files resolved outsidenode_modules.Validation
distoutput absent: the HMR fixture builds current Metro sources into a temporary directory.The self-contained HMR fixture can also be run directly after installing dependencies:
Use
expoinstead ofbare, orandroidinstead ofios, for the other combinations. These checks exercise real Metro workers and graph updates; simulator/device UI testing was not rerun for this upstream change.Summary by CodeRabbit
