@coddo did you found any solution?
me too getting same issue.

[coddo]

@katherdx I didn't have time to play around with the project since then. Seems a solution was posted right under your comment.

@Gulivertx Sounds great. I'll give it a try during the weekend

Re: the message - Electron could not be found. No hard resets for you! when running npm serve, I fixed it by modifying the following in main.ts
Original
if (serve) { require('electron-reload')(__dirname, { }); }
Changed
if (serve) { require('electron-reload')(__dirname, { electron: require(../node_modules/electron) }); }

[shaljain]

@coddo Just created one. Appreciate the prod :)

I have the same problem but when I modify someone file, it isn't reload my bundle (js).

Problem solved: In the component I can't use the absolute path, just relative path.

[coelhoadler]

@coddo try to use only relative paths. Ex: ./src/app/...

[coddo]

@coelhoadler I haven't added anything extra to the template. I just cloned and started fiddling with the existing stuff. There are no absolute paths used anywhere and I would never think of using absolute paths in the first place.

any news on this?

[Snow-Okami]

I tried updating like @Gulivertx suggested but only experienced more instability than normal. Had to go back. Mainly in electron's beta. My angular is already up to date. Also I'm not sure what the "@ngtools/webpack": "^1.5.0" is, as I have the regular webpack in my installation.

[caiusCitiriga]

If you're on mac/linux maybe this can help.
Put it into your bash_profile and run serveEl instead of npm run electron:serve

function serveEl(){ while True; do npm run electron:serve || echo "Server crashed... restarting..." >&2 echo "Press Ctrl-C to quit." && sleep 1 done }

I know it's a work around but at least it serves again the application automatically.

[celestale]

having the same issue, all workaround above doesn't help. random crashes after edits.

[ralph089]

Same issue here.

[coddo]

@shaljain I guess you can make a PR with the fix to help all of us :)
