/packs.dev VS /packs

[princeydev]

Hi all, I'm totally new to stackstorm, and have been given a dockerized stackstorm app to debug.
I made a change to the code and this is the issue I'm encountering: after making the change, I build, then "docker compose", "docker run", enter terminal inside my container, and my code changes seem to come through to /packs.dev, but not /packs.
From this doc I can see the config ST2_PACKS_DEV, but I don't understand how to get my changes to come through to the main /packs folder as well.

docker-compose :

volumes:

  - [./vendor/st2-docker/files/rbac:/opt/stackstorm/rbac:rw](stackstorm-packs:/opt/stackstorm/packs:rw)
  - ${ST2_PACKS_DEV:-./st2-packs}:/opt/stackstorm/packs.dev:rw

I've tried 'pack install', 'pack register', no luck. Can't find the answer in the doc.

Or is there maybe a way to get "st2 run" to run from /packs.dev rather than /packs, just for testing?

Any hint anyone? Much appreciated, thanks.
