Used npm run start:server & npm run start:client. App runs fine. Hot reload is not working. File changes do not trigger any reload on both server and client side.

Please suggest

What IDE do you use?

What IDE do you use?

This would be useful information. Some IDEs (IntelliJ) only save a copy of your changes in-memory to save on disk writes, but this makes the reloaders not able to see any changes. There's a setting to always write saves to disk.

same issue here. i am using version 5.0.0-rc.3.....

but gulp serve is not working these manual commands are working fine.

on gulp serve .tmp folder always empty. event localhost :3000 dont serve the app.html

[Awk34]

gulp serve is deprecated in 5.0.0.

Your app should be served at http://localhost:8080. .tmp folder is always empty because the webpack dev server keeps the files in-memory for faster rebuild.

ok then why gulp serve always open localhost:3000 lol.

[Awk34]

@umimehar gulp serve should be gone from all documentation, ignore it. It will be removed.

[umimehar]

then please tell me how can i start the dev server?

[Awk34]

@umimehar please read the README file: https://github.com/angular-fullstack/generator-angular-fullstack#usage

[smileavi]

npm run start:server and npm run start:client. @umimehar

Please refer to the below link [https://angular-fullstack.github.io/get-started/running/]

[Awk34]

@smileavi back on topic, are there any more details you can provide? Is there anything strange in the console output? Can you confirm the files are actually changing?

[umimehar]

ok thanks. it works. seems like i need to give 2 commands to run front end and back end. cool. that was a major change. well

and what about these 2 warnings?

[Awk34]

@umimehar we'll have to wait for Angular themselves to address that. You can search those warnings within their issue board.

i just got that server files are not being watched? is it?

[rafaelmmadeira]

Same issue here, using 5.0.0-rc.3. I did a fresh scaffolding and hot reload is working fine for client but server files are not being watched.

When i run npm run start:server i got the following:

[Awk34]

Replacing the run command with this should make it auto reload:

"start:server": "nodemon --watch server server"

(see #2744)

@Awk34

that made it to me!

Thanks!
