HMR not working with default clone and yarn dev

[polarathene]

I installed the project as per the README instructions, ran yarn, then yarn dev, project window pops up, brings in Vue or whatever the renderer index.js is doing(the code appears minified? is that suitable for getting a feel of the project?)... then I edit some text in the js file and save it. Nothing happens. DevTools window console states HMR has been enabled:

[HMR] Waiting for update signal from WDS...
[WDS] Hot Module Replacement enabled.

Console output:

yarn dev
yarn run v1.13.0

Not sure what has happened, but ran project again since and it's now working correctly(no changes to project code or any other command run besides yarn dev)

[alejandro-ultimatejetvacations]

Same error here, do you have any clue on how to solve it?

[polarathene]

@Alejpf I am not sure what caused it. As I said, when I tried to work on it again at a later point, it was working properly.

It might have been due to something like file watchers. I often would hit the default limit on my system and get warnings in some projects/apps that they could not function properly due to exceeding the limit. Perhaps I had freed those up by closing some stuff and that resolved it? Restarting your system should work too.
