It’s described here: [Configuration · Revise.jl](https://timholy.github.io/Revise.jl/stable/config/#Polling-and-NFS-mounted-code-directories:-JULIA_REVISE_POLL-1), if you start Julia with

```julia
JULIA_REVISE_POLL=1 julia 

```

Then Revise will check every few seconds to see if the files have updated instead of waiting for a notification that they’ve been updated. So if there’s an issue with those notifications then it could help.
