ng serve does not detect file changes automatically

[eak006]

Thank you for this wonderful dependency!

Unfortunately, after adding this dependency today with ng add @ngx-env/builder, I switched my builder from "@angular-devkit/build-angular:application" to "@ngx-env/builder:application" and now ng serve ... doesn't detect file changes automatically after making a change to a typescript file.

I tried all the solutions here

Hmmm... I tested out this GitHub repo and the problem doesn't exist anymore:

Watch mode enabled. Watching for file changes...
NOTE: Raw file sizes do not reflect development server per-request transformations.

I wonder what's up with my repository...

Fixed. Had to update ng to version 18 with the commands in the rightmost column:

 @angular/cdk                       17.3.10 -> 18.1.0        ng update @angular/cdk
 @angular/cli                       17.3.7 -> 18.1.0         ng update @angular/cli
 @angular/core                      17.3.8 -> 18.1.0         ng update @angular/core
 @angular/material                  17.3.10 -> 18.1.0        ng update @angular/material
