Hot Reloading not working in Next.js 9 using custom routing, styled components and withApollo example

Bug report

We are running "dev": "cross-env NODE_ENV=development babel-node src/server.js", to start nextjs in dev mode from our server.js file

We see the compiled successfully message when making changes to the pages/components folder

but we do not see any changes or renders on the page until we refresh the page

import express from "express";
import "isomorphic-fetch";
import next from "next";
import projectConfig from "./config";

import { initializeApollo } from "./lib/nextApollo";
import gql from "graphql-tag";

const compression = require("compression");
const apiHost = projectConfig.apiHost;
const currentHost = projectConfig.host;
const env = projectConfig.env;

// export interface Global extends NodeJS.Global {
//   document: Document;
//   window: Window;
//   DEVELOPMENT: any;
//   FOLDER: any;
// }

// declare var global: Global;

global.DEVELOPMENT = projectConfig.env == "DEV" ? true : false;
const dev = global.DEVELOPMENT ? true : false;
const folder = global.DEVELOPMENT ? "src" : "dist";

console.log("IS DEVELOPMENT", dev, "FOLDER", folder);

const app = next({ dev, dir: folder });

const handle = app.getRequestHandler();
const server = express();

server.use(compression());

Describe the bug

Next.js, not rerendering page when changes are made to the app.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior, please provide code snippets or a repository:

1. Run app
2. Go to page in a browser
3. Make a change on page
4. See compiled successfully but no rerender

Expected behavior

Hot reloading should rerender the page

System information

• OS: Mac and windows
• Browser all Browsers
• Version of Next.js: 9.3 and 9.5
• Version of Node.js: 12

Code Example

export const resolvers = {
    Mutation: {
        setGlobalVolume: (_, { volume }, { cache }) => {
            // cache.writeData({ data: { globalVolume: volume } });
            return null;
        },
        setGlobalSrc: (_, { id }, { cache }) => {
            // cache.writeData({ data: { globalSrcId: id } });
            return null;
        },
    },
};

const authLink = setContext((_, { headers }) => {
    if (projectConfig.env === "DEV") {
        // get the authentication token from local storage if it exists
        const token = isBrowser
            ? window.localStorage
                ? window.localStorage.getItem("jwt")

@JoseFMP for me it was the casing of a folder that I was referencing within my app. There was a folder with all lowercase, and I was referencing it in a file as capitalized. The app still built (and deployed) but Fast Refresh wouldn’t work (or any refresh). As soon as I fixed the casing, Fast Refresh returned. For this example, the only (perhaps unhelpful) help I can offer is to scrupulously check all your file imports and make sure they match. Understand that my comment does not wholly reflect the open issue, just what I experienced.
