Using air in go project recompile go files and reload the executable works only if I exec into the container. Some older issues were closed as resolved which makes me think I am doing something wrong.

Output of colima status
colima status
INFO[0000] colima is running using macOS Virtualization.Framework
INFO[0000] arch: aarch64
INFO[0000] runtime: docker
INFO[0000] mountType: virtiofs
INFO[0000] socket: unix:///Users/user/.colima/default/docker.sock
Reproduction Steps
- Create a go project
- install air https://github.com/air-verse/air
- build the image and run the container using
docker container run --name app1 -p 3000:3000 --rm -v $(pwd):/app -v /app/tmp app1:latest - Modify any go files from outside the running the container
- air doesn't see the modification even though the mounted file is actually modified in the container
Expected behaviour
Air watcher should observe the change and recompile the app.

# New instances will be created with the following configurations.
# Number of CPUs to be allocated to the virtual machine.
# Default: 2
cpu: 2
# Size of the disk in GiB to be allocated to the virtual machine.
# NOTE: value can only be increased after virtual machine has been created.
#
# Default: 100
disk: 100
# Size of the memory in GiB to be allocated to the virtual machine.
# Default: 2

# Container runtime to be used (docker, containerd).
#
# NOTE: value cannot be changed after virtual machine is created.
# Default: docker
runtime: docker
# Set custom hostname for the virtual machine.
# Default: colima
# colima-profile_name for other profiles

# Kubernetes configuration for the virtual machine.
kubernetes:
# Enable kubernetes.
# Default: false
enabled: false
# Kubernetes version to use.
# This needs to exactly match a k3s version https://github.com/k3s-io/k3s/releases
# Default: latest stable release
version: v1.31.2+k3s1
# Additional args to pass to k3s https://docs.k3s.io/cli/server
# Default: traefik is disabled
k3sArgs:
- --disable=traefik
# Auto-activate on the Host for client access.
# Setting to true does the following on startup
# - sets as active Docker context (for Docker runtime).
# - sets as active Kubernetes context (if Kubernetes is enabled).
# Default: true
autoActivate: true
# Network configurations for the virtual machine.
network:
# Assign reachable IP address to the virtual machine.
# NOTE: this is currently macOS only and ignored on Linux.
# Default: false
address: false
# Custom DNS resolvers for the virtual machine.
#
# EXAMPLE
# dns: [8.8.8.8, 1.1.1.1]
#
# Default: []
dns: []
# DNS hostnames to resolve to custom targets using the internal resolver.
# This setting has no effect if a custom DNS resolver list is supplied above.
# It does not configure the /etc/hosts files of any machine or container.
# The value can be an IP address or another host.
#
# EXAMPLE
# dnsHosts:
# example.com: 1.2.3.4
dnsHosts:
host.docker.internal: host.lima.internal
# Replicate host IP addresses in the VM. This enables port forwarding to specific
# host IP addresses.
# e.g. `docker run --port 10.0.1.2:8080:8080 alpine` would only forward to the
# specified IP address.
#
# Default: false
hostAddresses: false
# ===================================================================== #
# ADVANCED CONFIGURATION
# ===================================================================== #
# Forward the host's SSH agent to the virtual machine.
# Default: false
forwardAgent: false
# Docker daemon configuration that maps directly to daemon.json.
# https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/dockerd/#daemon-configuration-file.
# NOTE: some settings may affect Colima's ability to start docker. e.g. `hosts`.
#
# EXAMPLE - disable buildkit
# docker:
# features:
# buildkit: false
#
# EXAMPLE - add insecure registries
# docker:
# insecure-registries:
# - myregistry.com:5000
# - host.docker.internal:5000
#
# Colima default behaviour: buildkit enabled
# Default: {}
docker: {}
# Virtual Machine type (qemu, vz)
# NOTE: this is macOS 13 only. For Linux and macOS <13.0, qemu is always used.
#
# vz is macOS virtualization framework and requires macOS 13
#
# NOTE: value cannot be changed after virtual machine is created.
# Default: qemu
vmType: qemu
# Utilise rosetta for amd64 emulation (requires m1 mac and vmType `vz`)
# Default: false

# Enable nested virtualization for the virtual machine (requires m3 mac and vmType `vz`)
# Default: false

# Volume mount driver for the virtual machine (virtiofs, 9p, sshfs).
#
# virtiofs is limited to macOS and vmType `vz`. It is the fastest of the options.
#
# 9p is the recommended and the most stable option for vmType `qemu`.
#
# sshfs is faster than 9p but the least reliable of the options (when there are lots
# of concurrent reads or writes).
#
# NOTE: value cannot be changed after virtual machine is created.
# Default: virtiofs (for vz), sshfs (for qemu)
mountType: sshfs
# Propagate inotify file events to the VM.
# NOTE: this is experimental.
mountInotify: true
# The CPU type for the virtual machine (requires vmType `qemu`).
# Options available for host emulation can be checked with: `qemu-system-$(arch) -cpu help`.
# Instructions are also supported by appending to the cpu type e.g. "qemu64,+ssse3".
# Default: host
cpuType: host
# Custom provision scripts for the virtual machine.
# Provisioning scripts are executed on startup and therefore needs to be idempotent.
#
# EXAMPLE - script executed as root
# provision:
# - mode: system
# script: apt-get install htop vim
#
# EXAMPLE - script executed as user
# provision:
# - mode: user
# script: |
# [ -f ~/.provision ] && exit 0;
# echo provisioning as $USER...
# touch ~/.provision
#
# Default: []
provision: []
# Modify ~/.ssh/config automatically to include a SSH config for the virtual machine.
# SSH config will still be generated in $COLIMA_HOME/ssh_config regardless.
# Default: true
sshConfig: true
# The port number for the SSH server for the virtual machine.
# When set to 0, a random available port is used.
#
# Default: 0
sshPort: 0
# Configure volume mounts for the virtual machine.
# Colima mounts user's home directory by default to provide a familiar
# user experience.
#
# EXAMPLE
# mounts:
# - location: ~/secrets
# writable: false
# - location: ~/projects
# writable: true
#
# Colima default behaviour: $HOME and /tmp/colima are mounted as writable.
# Default: []
mounts: []
# Specify a custom disk image for the virtual machine.
# When not specified, Colima downloads an appropriate disk image from Github at
# https://github.com/abiosoft/colima-core/releases.
# The file path to a custom disk image can be specified to override the behaviour.
#
# Default: ""
diskImage: ""
# Environment variables for the virtual machine.
#
# EXAMPLE
# env:
# KEY: value
# ANOTHER_KEY: another value
#
# Default: {}
env: {}
