Reload & Live Reload & Hot Reload stop working

Hi everyone,

I’m block on something really strange, my project stop detect file change and I don’t know why because I didn’t change anything since the last time I use it.

By example, if I start the packager by running react-native start or npm start and I change something in my sources files with hot reload and live reload enabled, nothing change and the packager doesn’t detect the change, even if I hit Command + R to force reload. The changes are only applied if I kill the packager and I run it again.

I don’t really know from where the problem came, but for this kind of problem I think about watchman, so I try to uninstall and install it again but nothing change, I see some ticket about it, and nothing change with all the steps describe in those tickets.

I also try to restart my computer, and try with a totally new project and with all the following commands:

rm -rf $TMPDIR/react-*
watchman watch-del-all
rm -rf ios/build/ModuleCache/* 
rm -rf node_modules/
npm cache clean
npm i

But it’s still the same… If someone can help me! 😃

react-native-cli -> 1.2.0
react-native -> 0.36.1
xcode -> 8.1
node -> 6.3.1
watchman -> 4.7.0

@magrinj Same happened to me today, 2 days lost. Try to uninstall/install again watchman. Use this command: rm -rf /usr/local/var/run/watchman/ && brew uninstall watchman && brew install watchman It worked for me.

For those who still have this problem in iOS check that you have the following line in AppDelegate.m: at about the 19th line

jsCodeLocation = [[RCTBundleURLProvider sharedSettings] jsBundleURLForBundleRoot:@"index" fallbackResource:nil];

which in case you want to archive the app, should become:

jsCodeLocation = [[NSBundle mainBundle] URLForResource:@"main" withExtension:@"jsbundle"];
