Failed to refresh component on click in livewire - php

Question

Tried all the possible solution to refresh the component but failed. Is there any option not to push the new comments and refresh the $comments variable whatever it contains?
Want to refresh $comments and its relation with replies in the blade on click of the send button
Calling $refresh action on the send button but it doesn't seem to work. Even tried to re-render the component with $this->render(). This also fails.
<div>
#foreach($comments as $item)
<div class="row" #if($item->reply_id != null) style="margin-left:40px;" #endif>
<div class="col-md-12">
<div class="py-md-4 py-3 border_bottom" >
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-1 col-sm-1 col-1">

Since none of the properties is updated, the livewire chat component will not refresh.
Possible solution is not to pass the list as a param but fetch it inside the chat component. Use events to trigger a refresh:
#click="$emit('discussion.chat.{{ $id }}.refresh')"
Inside frontend.discussion-chat have a
public function listeners(): array
{
return [
"discussion.chat.$this->id.refresh" => "reload"
];
}
public function reload(): void
{
// E.g.
$this->comments->fresh();
}
