Error with the reloader

[WassimBenzarti]

Describe the bug

Whenever I do

uvicorn api.index:app --reload

Then change the file index, I get an error like this

Accept failed on a socket
socket: <asyncio.TransportSocket fd=592, family=AddressFamily.AF_INET, type=SocketKind.SOCK_STREAM, proto=6, laddr=('127.0.0.1', 8000)>
(See the full log below)

To Reproduce

1. Create a file with:

# api/index.py
from fastapi import FastAPI

app = FastAPI()


@app.get("/")
def index():
    print("boo")
    return {"Hello": "World"}

2. run the app using uvicorn api.index:app --reload.
3. Open the browser and call the endpoint /.
4. Change the content of the file api/index.py so that the reloader gets triggered.
5. I expected it to reload the server, instead the error specified below happened.

Expected behavior

Reload the application, and continue to work as normal.

Environment

• OS: Windows
• FastAPI Version [e.g. 0.3.0]:

python -c "import fastapi; print(fastapi.__version__)"
email-validator not installed, email fields will be treated as str.
To install, run: pip install email-validator
0.44.0

• Python version:

python --version
Python 3.8.0

I believe this is an issue with uvicorn on Windows. I think if you use the asyncio event loop the issue goes away. I can’t easily look for them now but I recall one or two recent issues where this was raised and solved. @euri10 might know more?

I encountered this issue too. I turned to use docker and it won't bother. Here's what I found, hope it helps:

use tiangolo/uvicorn-gunicorn and use CMD /start-reload.sh in Dockerfile;

set volume in the docker-compose.yml

volumes:
 - .:/app

It seems this should be solved in recent versions of Uvicorn.

Did you solve your problem @WassimBenzarti ?
