Recreating files

What exactly do you mean by this? Also, do you know if this worked for you in Hugo 0.29?

[sklar]

It works fine in v0.29 and all previous versions.

Steps to reproduce

1. Run hugo -w
2. Change content of document placed in contentDir
3. Check content of related publishDir file - it is not updated

Someone else on the forum (in the release thread for 0.30) mentioned similar behaviour:

hugo -w (without server) does not work correctly. While it shows the console message like _... 96 regular pages created ... total in 12 ms_ right after updating a source file, the corresponding output file in public/ remains the same.

OK, I think I know. My mistake. I will fix for 0.30.1. Thanks for reporting.
