I have a discourse development setup running within WSL. This works quite ok for working on plugins. But today I noticed something weird, whenever I edit the config/locales/client.en.yml file the systems hangs. I cannot even shut it down normally, a “puma” process just hangs and I need to kill it (-9). It doesn’t happen with any other file. Changing .rb files or even server.en.yml just reloads the application. But with client.en.yml it just gets stuck. I’m not sure if this happened before. I just started noticing it today. I am working off the stable branch.

Development setup hangs when updating client.en.yml

I usually have to restart after changing locales
