Changes to flake self not detected

[xhalo32]

I have use flake . in .envrc.

Using e.g. self.rev which changes between commits does not trigger an update, but requires manual direnv reload.

I think you've not tracked files that need tracking. If .envrc ONLY contains use flake ., we're likely only tracking a small portion of your nix files (we track flake.nix, flake.lock, devshell.toml and your user's direnvrc file by default). If you have a more complex setup, you likely want to do something like watch_file **/*.nix to track every nix file. (This might be too aggressive, depending on your setup. But I don't have more information about that so we'll start here).

If you're already tracking all of your nix files: How is self.rev updating? Can you provide a reproduction repository so we can investigate further?
