Desired functionality.

1/ Web browser is not kicked off by default. Instead I need to use:

ng serve -open

2/ Changes are not detected at all. 3/ Project is not beeing recompiled. 4/ Browser is not refreshed when changes are applied.

Mention any other details that might be useful.

Hello. In my case the problem was with an IDE. I use WebStorm and I had to change settings. File -> Settings -> Appearance & Behavior -> System Settings and uncheck ‘Use “safewrite” (save changes to a temporary file first)’. After that on Ctrl+S all changes are picked up. Perhaps it will be useful for someone.

I feel like this is a very critical issue and should be a blocker as it seriously hinders development.
