[FIXED] python manage.py runserver keeps reloading stating file has changed

Issue

I've been working on a django project with no issues. I've pulled updated code from the remote repository and now if i do python manage.py runserver in cmd, i keep getting error

Starting development server at http://127.0.0.1:8000/
Quit the server with CTRL-BREAK.
D:\some_project\someapp\schemes\models.py changed, reloading.
Watching for file changes with StatReloader

then

it keeps looping through all the files and all the apps that have in my django project. it works if i try python manage.py runserver --noreload however, i'm curious as to what lead to the issue in the first place.

Solution

You may be experiencing this issue due to your development environment. If you are using a Vagrant server or similar, the reloading of the files would be due to the Vagrant server refreshing the files from your local machine.

The --noreload flag is suitable for situations like this.
