Developing rnote.

[Partha-Sarker]

I am having trouble running the application while in development. Do I have to build every time I make a change? Or Is there any efficient way to see the changes in action? And it takes a really long time to build the application with

flatpak-builder --user flatpak-app build-aux/com.github.flxzt.rnote.Devel.json command.

You'd have to build once you made a change. Personally I use the flatpak extension in vscode, which caches and does incremental builds, which only takes a couple of seconds compared to minutes for a full build.

But when I try to build using vscode flatpak extension, the terminal shows

flatpak build-init /my_project_directory/rnote/.flatpak/repo com.github.flxzt.rnote.Devel org.gnome.Sdk org.gnome.Platform 42

and nothing happens after.

you need to run update dependencies and then build and run the application again after initializing.

Can you tell me the command to update dependencies?

Thanks for the help. I am able to build the application really fast now.
