Live reloading not working #36

Closed javier-artiles closed 7 years ago

javier-artiles commented 7 years ago

After running npm run-script watch, changes in app.js are not reflected in the browser after reloading. It seems webpack.config.js is not pointing at the correct output directory.

It worked after this change:

     output: {
-        path: __dirname,
-        filename: './src/main/resources/static/built/bundle.js'
+        path: './target/classes/static/built/',
+        filename: 'bundle.js'
     },

You actually have to restart the app to pick up JS only changes.

Writing to src/main/resources/static is to ensure that Spring Boot plugin properly picks things up for the uber JAR.

@gregturn I see. Is there any way to have live reloading while editing the app.js file ?

gregturn commented 7 years ago

Read the DevTools part of Boot's ref docs. You can adjust the trigger.

Thank you @gregturn , I got it working now with DevTools.

@javier-artiles, any chance you should share how you configured DevTools to autoreload on JS changes? I am working through a similar issue myself.
