Description

I'm using wails on windows and my code doenst hot reloads when I do changes in the backend .go files. If I pass a single file to the -reloaddirs it do work, but not for all files of my project. Any way I can archive this?

To Reproduce

  1. Create a project on windows
  2. Execute it with wails dev
  3. Change a .go file
  4. expect the code to do not a hot reload

Expected behaviour

The code should hot reload after the changes on the backend files

Attempted Fixes

I've tried to use a bash command to list all my dirs, but this is not a very friendly way to do this, and the feature IS HERE, I just need to understand why it's not working

Additional context

I don't really know if it's my project's problem or a general one, but other people working on the same project also are not able to use hot reloads on .go file changes.
