CSS live reload broken after this addon is installed

After installing this addon, when I save any SCSS file in my repo (even with no changes), the entire app reloads. So CSS live reload is no longer working.

I created a repro here: https://github.com/bgentry/ember-css-hot-reload-demo

You can clone that, run ember server, and see that whenever you save app.scss, the entire page reloads. Get rid of the addon, and livereload works again.

@mlwilkerson no apology necessary, I knew what I was signing up for 🙂

Just tried it out on my app and it looks like it fixed CSS livereload! I think it might have also lowered the incremental rebuild time which had gotten a lot worse after I switched addons. That would make sense if less work is being repeated every time. Thanks!

Assumption #1 sounds perfectly reasonable. Any time I make a change to ember-cli-build.js or config/environment.js, I expect to have to restart my app server.

AFAIK, assumption #2 would be different than other Ember addons. Typically updating a package while i.e. ember serve is running just rebuilds the required files from that package. I think it’s reasonable for the addon to completely rebuild all its own resources in that scenario, but it shouldn’t require the user to restart their ember process if that can be avoided.
