Angular does not show changes on manual browser reload or file saves

Question

Having trouble with Angular - it will not show changes, either on a file save or browser manual refresh. I've seen several threads about this issue but none of them have worked for me. In order to see a change, I have to cancel the ng serve process and restart it.

I've tried these:

• sudo ng serve -o --watch
• npm install --save @ngtools/webpack@1.2.4
• echo 65536 | sudo tee -a /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches
• uninstall Angular, clean cache, reinstall Angular
• added "@angular/webpack": "^1.2.4", to the devDependencies in package.json
• set Chrome to disable cache

None of these work. I'm at a complete loss. Is there anything else I can try to get this functioning properly?

If I've left out any pertinent info, I apologize - I am a newbie, obviously. Please ask for any info I can provide, and any help would be appreciated..

I'm on a Mac using OS 10.10.5

Try: ng serve --poll=1000 .

If that does not work you should also look into folder paths having name spaces and remove the spaces i.e 'Some Folder' to SomeFolder.
