server: List page doesn't update after creating content

[jmooring]

Reference: https://discourse.gohugo.io/t/hugo-server-d-doesnt-show-new-posts-consistently/49266

This worked as expected < v0.123.0.

archetypes/default.md

---
title: {{ replace .File.ContentBaseName "-" " " }}
draft: false
---

layouts/_default/list.html

{{ range .Pages }}{{ .Title }}|{{ end }}

content

content/
└── p1.md

actions

Run hugo server and look at the home page. You'll see p1| as expected.

In a new terminal, while the server is running, create a new page:

hugo new p2.md

expected

The home page should display p1|p2|

actual

The home displays p1| (no change)

test case

This isn't very helpful because it passes, but perhaps it will be useful as the basis for a different test.

integration test

func TestFoo(t *testing.T) {
	t.Parallel()

	files := `
-- hugo.toml --
disableKinds = ['rss','section','sitemap','taxonomy','term']
-- layouts/_default/list.html --
{{ range .Pages }}{{ .Title }}|{{ end }}
-- layouts/_default/single.html --
{{ .Title }}
-- content/p1.md --
---
title: p1
---
`

	b := hugolib.Test(t, files, hugolib.TestOptRunning())
	b.AssertFileContent("public/index.html", "p1|")

	b.AddFiles("content/p2.md", "---\ntitle: p2\n---").Build()
	b.AssertFileContent("public/index.html", "p1|p2|") // this test passes, which doesn't match reality
}

On what OS does this fail? Windows?

I have tested this again and cannot reproduce this on MacOS. I may eventually spin up a Linux VM and test this, but that may take some time.

I have a test repo that log the filesystem events for the different OSes. Looking at it now I see for created regular files:

MacOS:

CREATE        "/var/folders/h1/8hndypj13nsbj5pn4xsnv1tm0000gn/T/TestListEvents885546749/001/regularfile.txt"

Ubuntu:

CREATE        "/tmp/TestListEvents3296403036/001/regularfile.txt"
WRITE         "/tmp/TestListEvents3296403036/001/regularfile.txt"

In the hugolib.TestRunning we simulate these events (they doesn't get triggered with the mem fs, also they're very hard to get stable in CI).

But the above can explain what's seen above. I'll take another look.
