tns livesync ios --emulator --watch doesn't sync changes

[tjvantoll]

Hey all,

After 1.2.2 tns livesync ios --emulator works great, but if I add the --watch flag the iOS simulator no longer reflects my changes. The watcher works, and the simulator reloads, but my changes are not present.

tns livesync android --emulator --watch works as expected.

Thanks.

Hi @tjvantoll ,

Can you give us more information about your iOS simulator - device type, sdk version? I've just tested tns livesync ios --emulator --watch command with iPhone-4s/ iOS 7.1 and iPhone 6 Plus/ iOS 8.4 and it works as expected.

[tjvantoll]

I'm using the default on my machine, which is an iPhone-4s running iOS 8.4. It's odd because tns livesync ios --emulator works, but with the --watch flag those changes don't make it to the app. I'm going to try playing with some other device combinations.

I've tested iPhone-4s/ iOS 8.4 and it works as expected. Can you execute tns livesync ios --emulator --watch --log trace and send us the output?

[tjvantoll]

Looking at the logs myself it seems I'm actually running the iOS 8.1 simulator, which I'm not sure how that happened. Let me get an iOS 8.4 simulator running and get back with you.

Thanks for the quick help.

Hmmmm... I made sure to run an iOS 8.4 simulator and I had the same issue. Here's a log of me making a single change: https://gist.github.com/tjvantoll/6a29fb6d77eb22050b97.

Just tried on a new project and this command works as expected, which is odd. I had updated the previous project to use the 1.2.1 iOS runtime. I'm still playing with this to try to see what's up.

We've reproduced the problem using Groceries sample. The problem is with nested folders. We've moved login.js file from app/views/login/login.js to app/login.js which is wrong location. I'm preparing a fix that will be released ASAP.

Hi @xuezier,

I am not aware and not able to reproduce such a problem with NativeScript 1.6.1 . Could you please open a new issue if you are still experiencing it?

Thank you.

[xuezier]

yes,I tried many time but still experiencing this problem.
now, I open a new issue at #1532

I have run tns livesync ios --emulator --watch and it launches the emulator and the groceries app launches but then immediately closes. Any suggestions?
