Seems to work in some cases, but not others.

See microsoft/WSL#4169

Reading this issue microsoft/WSL#4739 (which has a cool shout-out to tilt.dev 🤗 🤗 🤗 ) makes me think this might not be possible to fix.

I wonder if we should add a thing to tilt doctor that writes a temp file to the current directory, and makes sure Tilt can see the change to it.

We talked a bit offline about this. As the attached WSL ticket points out, a good workaround is to move your code to the Linux filesystem. This should be much faster anyway. The VSCode support for this has been getting better (https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode-remote.remote-wsl)

Unfortunately no equivalent support for IntelliJ, yet 😞

i think we can close this issue, since it isn't tilt-specific and there are workarounds mentioned above. others can chime in and re-open if they disagree!
