Repro steps.

Upgraded our project to [email protected] / [email protected] and run ng-serve made some code improvements and check them after the auto recompiling

The log given by the failure.

I'm starting my developement routine with starting the project with ng serve then I made some code improvements, then the auto re-compile / change detection sets in. It seems that the cli ignores them completly cause nothing happens, there are no changes that I made and no console logs. After ending ng serve and starting it new, all is fine and the changes and logs are available.

Can you reproduce this from an ng new project?

[Rockstaa]

Thank you for your reply Meligy, yes I can reproduces this with a fresh ng new project, when i'm changing the title in the app.component.ts it seems that the compiler sometimes ignore the changes. Sometimes it show's the new App Title but most of the time it ignores the changes. I added a video up on this post so you can see the problem.

I happen to have the same problem while using Webstorm. On VS Code works ok... for the moment.

[Rockstaa]

Thank you teddymro, I played around with webstorm and in Settings -> Appearance & Behavior -> System Settings is a Property called Use "safe write" (save changes to a temporary file first)". If this property is checked changes will temporarily be detected, if it's turned off all works fine for me. Thank you for giving me this little hint for this solution. Maybe you can check this too. I think we could close this issue for now :)

I have the same problem using VIM.

[Rockstaa]

I don't know much about VIM but, maybe there is an option like "safe write" in VIM too, to solve this problem?

There is a solution for Vim there as well.
