@theomathieubhvr without repro steps it would be very difficult to see what's going on. I'll try to have a look on this when I'll be available.

[theomathieubhvr]

Yes I understand. I'll try to repro this on monday !

Thanks.

[theomathieubhvr]

Ok,

I succeeded repro this :)

I THINK it might be starting when I run npm run build:universal-prod, then my hmr command does not work anymore.

This is what I did :

$ git clone ...
$ npm run build:spa-dev (to build index.html for the first time, or else hmr does not work).
$ npm run serve:spa-hmr

MODIFY A FILE : HMR WORKS

$ Ctrl-C
$ npm run build:universal-prod
$ node .server/server.js

MODIFYING A FILE DOES NOT WORK BEYOND THIS POINT.

$ npm run serve:spa-hmr

=> even when deleting .cache, .temp directories, any change is not taken into account (event if I change a file BEFORE running serve:spa-hmr).

Thanks :)

@theomathieubhvr now I get it :)

The HMR feature does not run on the server platform (Universal) yet. I've got it working just on the browser platform (SPA). Let's keep this issue open, because I'm still working on development of polyfills for Angular Material for the server platform. Then, I'll surely have a look at this.

[theomathieubhvr]

Oh, that's not what I meant. I don't want hmr to work with universal. But in my case :

• I run hmr for development mode
• I run build:universal-prod for production mode

But one at a time !

Once I runned build:universal-prod to build my project for production, I cannot develop anymore cause my files are not updated anymore.

[fulls1z3]

Now more clear, the HMR implementation was only for the development mode (JiT), and on browser platform (SPA).

[fulls1z3]

And I want to simply ask about files not updated anymore. You mean, the assets which were copied thru CopyWebpackPlugin?

[theomathieubhvr]

I've not tried the assets (I can try any file if you ask me) but modifying app.component.html does not update the view.

[fulls1z3]

Understood, assets just add a bit more complexity to the current situation. But the previous answer is still valid, you can get the HMR running only after a development build, not a production build.

However, I'll see what can I do for this.

[theomathieubhvr]

Oh ok now I understand !!

I have to run build:spa-dev to rebuild the correct files.

As always, thanks for your reactivity ! :)
