Ignition does not reflect git changes until I manually call `system.project.requestScan()`

Ignition

I have a 2 system setup for ignition: 1 dev station and 1 production server. I do all my development on my dev station and once everything is good to go I commit to git and then pull those changes on my production server. Since upgrading to ignition 8.3 I’ve noticed that the designer does not reflect my changes that I can clearly see in my git history both in production and dev.

wrapper.java.additional.7=-Dignition.projects.scanFrequency=10

I have the scan frequency set at 10 seconds is there something I’m missing? This wasn’t an issue in 8.1. I frequently will click ‘update project’ to merge with the gateway and no change

8.3 drops automatic scanning entirely. If you want it to happen automatically, you can set up a gateway timer script somewhere and call system.project.requestScan(), but the better pattern is to fire it whenever git actually needs it to happen, instead of burning CPU cycles scanning unchanged resource trees.

Oh good to know, I can work with that then. Thanks!
