ng serve --poll

See original GitHub issue

Was the --poll flag removed in v6, or is that just an error in the newly committed docs? As per https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/issues/5212 it’s needed to support Docker on Windows, which is still the case as far as I’m aware.

Yeap, it should be on the next release of @angular-devkit/build-angular!

The new option is better than the old: it takes an argument for the milliseconds time to wait between polls. (You can see this in the commit referenced above.) However, if you simply pass --poll it has no default so it appears as if it is not working…

ng serve --host 0.0.0.0 --poll 200

^ Works as expected in vagrant on win10 host

ng serve --host 0.0.0.0 --poll

^ Does no polling, so perhaps a sensible default should be added? 500 or 1000 ms?
