Livereload is not triggered on file change

[alexander-akait]

@alan-agius4 Sorry for delay, looks like problem in webpack, because hash of compilation is the same, so dev server doesn't reload page, I have two workarounds, but want to verify it is valid fixes, I will return to this today/tomorrow (waiting answer)

[alexander-akait]

@alan-agius4 oh, sorry, missed that, put in my TODO for tomorrow

[alexander-akait]

@alan-agius4 I haven't tried it yet, I've set it to my tasks, I can look tomorrow, just ask more information as possible

[alan-agius4]

Looks like the user that reported the issue is also using Mac. angular/angular-cli#22751 (comment)

[alan-agius4]

@alexander-akait, thanks let's continue tracking this in webpack/webpack-dev-server#3794

[alexander-akait]

Can you reproduce it using 5.69.0?

[alexander-akait]

Because we have https://github.com/webpack-contrib/copy-webpack-plugin/blob/master/src/index.js#L331

[alan-agius4]

I did try that and I still didn't work. I also tried older version like 5.10 and it still didn't work.

[alexander-akait]

Maybe related to MacOS...

[alan-agius4]

I asked the user that original reported the issue originally in angular/angular-cli#22751 to provide more about their system.

Did live reload work for you when you tried the reproduction?

[alan-agius4]

Thanks @alexander-akait!

Gentle reminder @alexander-akait

@alexander-akait

Same issue on Windows. Angular 14.

[webpack-dev-server] App updated. Recompiling...
[webpack-dev-server] Nothing changed.

Change in files in the app folder and globel scss files are detected. Change in files in the assets folder are not detected.

@alan-agius4 @Mylogin-info bug in webpack-dev-server, we can't fix it here webpack/webpack-dev-server#3794, updated an issue and put your example, copy-webapck-plugin does right job here, dev server doesn't respect hash changed

Same issue on Windows. Angular 14.

[webpack-dev-server] App updated. Recompiling...
[webpack-dev-server] Nothing changed.

Force those who are looking for a workaround,
I used the package "@angular-builders/custom-webpack": "^14.1.0" that allows to use an extra webpack config, and in this file:

module.exports = {
    devServer: {
        watchFiles: ["src/**/*"],
    },
};

This solved my issue, hope it helps.
