Sometimes template code changes not detected in windows wls ubuntu22.04.

[quroom]

What happened?

With default runserver_plus reloader_type, when django template code changes, sometimes doens't detect changes.
sometimes happens three times detected with once code change.

What should've happened instead?

When code change, it should be detected immediately at once.

I found a workaround.
When I changed RUNSERVERPLUS_POLLER_RELOADER_TYPE to stat.
It works properly. It might be related to wsl2 issue #4970

Logs:

$ cookiecutter https://github.com/cookiecutter/cookiecutter-django
project_name [Project Name]: ...

Is that still an issue now that #4971 is merged?

With that option, It isn't issue.
But I guess we need some explanations, because someone thinks wsl ubuntu env is not related windows.
So they might check windows as n.
In document or creating template instruction with cookiecutter command, I guess it's better to announce.
How do you think?

Not sure... I don't use Windows/WSL. Feel free to send a pull request to mention that under the windows option: https://cookiecutter-django.readthedocs.io/en/latest/project-generation-options.html

Thanks for answer :)
Nowadays I am working legacy project without cookiecutter.
So when I use cookiecutter again, if the patch needs I will make PR.
