Reloading Custom Functions in Excel Add-In - Online Version
I am working on an Excel Add-In with custom functions using the Javascript API. I have followed this tutorial.
I am trying to debug this using the Web version of Excel as the logging capabilities are significantly better, however I am finding that it will never register changes in my functions.ts file. I can change any other code file (eg. taskpane.ts) and will see the changes reflected immediately, however whenever I try to reload the custom functions, I do not see any of the changes.
The commands I'm using:
npm run build followed by
npm run watch in one terminal, npm run start:web in another.
This is the same whether or not I run npm run watch in one terminal or not.
In order to observe any changes I need to completely restart the entire server and reload the plugin.
This makes for a pretty miserable development experience. Has anyone overcome issues like these, or have suggestions as to how I can improve the development process for Excel add-ins?
I would also like to develop using the Desktop version of excel, however do to the lack of decent logging capabilities, this doesn't seem too feasible.
