[Bug] 404s every page after enabling watch('content') to reloadRoutes() in static.config.js

Are you reporting a bug?

Yes

Note: this issue originally filed on my rs-basic-test repo: https://github.com/theWebalyst/rs-basic-test/issues/1

Environment

react-static -V: 6.1.5
node -v: 8.11.3
npm -v: 6.4.1
Operating system: Ubuntu 18.10

Steps to Reproduce the problem

Starting with the basic template, I made small changes to get it to load content from markdown files by changing the relevant parts, based this other example: https://github.com/tannerlinsley/react-static-markdown (I chose to follow how that loads markdown having first failed to do this based on the code in the react-static archived markdown example).

You can reproduce the error by:

• git clone https://github.com/theWebalyst/rs-basic-test/ && cd rs-basic-test && git checkout tags/take-content-from-markdown-files -b localtest && yarn && yarn start
• visit http://localhost:3000/ and confirm Home, About, Blog etc load ok
• remove the comment in static.config.js to enable reloadRoutes() at line 7
• things work as expected if you just edit content
• until you refresh the page or click on the navigation: Home, About, Blog etc all show a 404 error

I don’t see any errors in browser or terminal console (using Firefox), but note that there is still some console.log() debug output generated to the terminal by the build (see static.config.js 15-17)

I am also having this issue. If I startup react-static and then just save the static.config.js without even making a change to the file, all of my routes return 404.
