Livereload for Ionic React app

Is the livereload for this electron platform currently possible?

I have an Ionic React app. I’m trying calling this command from project root folder: ionic cap run @capacitor-community/electron -l

It first tries to add the electron platform again: capacitor add @capacitor-community/electron which fails with Error: Electron platform already exists. but continues with build process, so in my case these steps:

react-scripts start capacitor copy @capacitor-community/electron capacitor open @capacitor-community/electron

So in the end, it opens the electron window, but the content displayed is outdated - actually an old build I made in the past by manually doing ionic build && npx cap copy The content is not live-reloaded.

Am I doing something wrong or livereload is not available for electron?

Thank you!

Currently no, live reload does not work with electron, but its a good idea for a future release. 👍

I don’t know if it helps, but I’m using Ionic with Angular and I used electron-reload" I added those lines in electron/src/index.ts

  electron: path.join(__dirname, 'node_modules', '.bin', 'electron')
});

and live reloading is now working

Can you give me the steps for live reload ??
