# Build the Rust broker to WASM (+ wasm-bindgen glue) before bundling. wrangler

# broker-wasm-pkg/ is gitignored and regenerated. Requires the wasm32 target,
# wasm-bindgen-cli (0.2.121), and wasm-opt — the release workflow sets these up.
#
# Two rules keep `wrangler dev` from rebuilding itself in a loop. Both are
# load-bearing:
#
# 1. The glue lands in broker-wasm-pkg/ NEXT TO src/, never inside it.
# wrangler re-runs this command whenever watch_dir changes, so output
# written into a watched directory retriggers the watcher that produced
# it. That is an unbounded loop, not merely a slow start. Keep any future
# codegen out of the watched tree for the same reason.
# 2. watch_dir names the build's INPUT, the Rust crate this command compiles,
# rather than the default ./src. Worker TypeScript still hot-reloads:
# wrangler watches the bundle's module graph for that, independently. The
# only thing this suppresses is a pointless wasm rebuild on every .ts save.

Cloudflare Wrangler custom builds watch_dir array behavior documentation

💡 Result:

In Cloudflare Wrangler, the watch_dir configuration option within the [build] section allows you to specify which directories Wrangler should monitor for changes during wrangler dev to trigger a rebuild [1][2]. As of recent updates, the watch_dir configuration accepts either a single string or an array of string paths [1][3][2]. This is particularly useful for projects like monorepos or complex applications where source code is distributed across multiple directories, making a single directory watch insufficient [3]. Key behavior details include: - Behavior: When watch_dir is defined, Wrangler watches the specified path(s) and triggers your custom build command whenever a file change is detected within those directories [1][4]. - Default: If watch_dir is not explicitly set in your wrangler.toml or configuration file, it defaults to the current working directory [1][2][5]. - Configuration: You can provide multiple paths using the array syntax in TOML [1][3]: [build] command = "npm run build" watch_dir = ["src", "lib", "shared"] This feature was introduced to resolve limitations where projects with non-standard file structures or opaque dependencies were difficult to watch using the default settings [3].

Watch all Rust broker build inputs.

watch_dir excludes lobby-broker, Cargo.toml, Cargo.lock, and .cargo/config.toml. Changes to these inputs do not trigger the custom WASM build during wrangler dev, so the Worker can run stale broker code. Extend watch_dir to cover these inputs without including broker-wasm/target/ or broker-wasm-pkg/.

In `@lobby-worker/wrangler.toml` at line 32, Update the watch_dir configuration in
wrangler.toml to monitor all Rust broker build inputs, including lobby-broker,
Cargo.toml, Cargo.lock, and .cargo/config.toml, while excluding
broker-wasm/target/ and broker-wasm-pkg/ from the watched paths.
