Hot reload or watch does not work

dylanglockler

I have an issue where hot reload works great for a while, then suddenly stops and reverts back to the last full build. I’m also only able to get hot reload started by renaming the public directory (to anything else) and then changing it back to public so I can reach my laravel API. After a bit, I get a CORS error:
Access to XMLHttpRequest at ‘http://app.wb.localhost/user’ from origin ‘http://app.wb.localhost:8080’ has been blocked by CORS policy. For a while it was working pretty well, I’d have to reset once or twice a day, but suddenly it’s failing every few file updates. I’ve tried changing privileges on the storage directory, launching with sudo and making sure my config file is cached…

What’s the output of quasar info?

Honestly that are a lot of things going very wrong. I personally would try to run it on another system and see how it behaves there.

I did a fresh install several times, each time documenting my steps, that’s how I was able to figure out if I rename the public directory it works. It has been working the last few weeks and suddenly having issues.

Just realized that it was launching Safari instead of Chrome suddenly and the hot reloading seems to be working in Safari!

For Quasar v1 you should use nodejs v12.x.

I did a fresh install several times, each time documenting my steps,

I meant running it on a Windows or linux based OS instead of Mac.

I live on a boat, and all I have is a mac. Thanks, I’ll check on the v of node. I am seeing more hot reload info in Safari, when it stops working, here’s what I get:

I also noticed that if I rename my public directory from ‘public’ and refresh, the hot reload starts working again. I’m developing a mixed quasar environment with Laravel backend. I access the Laravel API through a virtual server and i’m running the hot reload on port 8080 with quasar dev with this command:

sudo quasar dev -H app.wb.localhost

You could consider using virtrual box to run it with another OS. Apart from that I unfortunately have no clues/ideas on how to fix your problem .

Hey, thanks for the suggestion and for taking the time to consider the issue i’m having. Virtual Box looks like it could work, might resolve some issues and add some other benefits!

I am having the same reload issue here, also using a Mac.
It started after adding support to Quasar and a package update.

dylanglockler

@dobbel I setup Laravel Homestead with Vagrant using VirtualBox (on mac os). I’m able to run the site as a virtual server but when I run the dev -H for hot reload, I’m getting site not found - I’m thinking maybe has to do with the port. I tried using a port in the Homestead.yaml, but then dev with hot reload advances to the next port.

Sorry I don’t really understand your setup and what is running where and why.

I run the dev -H for hot reload

that’s for setting a hostname, -H . What has this to do with hot reload? Quastion : without -H quasar dev does show a site?

I found some info about hot reload fixes in the docs:

If there appears to be an issue with hot reload, you can try two fixes:

Change the permissions for the project folder with

sudo chown -R username: .
or run the dev server with root privileges

sudo quasar dev

Appreciate the note - fundamentally I’m trying to setup Qasar front-end with a Laravel back-end (API) WITH hot reload working (otherwise development is unreasonably cumbersome). It works, with one little trick: I have to rename larave/public to public_x, run the command: sudo quasar dev -H app.wb.localhost

And then rename public_x back to public (so the app can access the API through the Laravel side on a virtual host I setup)

And then it’s AMAZING - I can work so quick, editing my quasar vue files, hot reload refreshes as expected - maintains state and logs me out of the app when I make changes to config or store files - all good!

But after a while, it will suddenly revert to the last version created when I last ran the build command. For a while it was only doing this once or twice a day and I was just working with that… but now, after just a few edits, it resets. I can find no errors in any logs nor can I find any common step that causes it to suddenly stop using the hot reload files and suddenly start serving the previous production build.

From your earlier suggestion, I did try switching over to a VirtualBox - built on Homestead + Vagrant. I’m able to get the server up and serving either Laravel or Quasar but having a time figuring out how to get both running simultaneously. Every time I try to run quasar dev it seems to work but but the browser can’t connect to server. I have the route in my hosts etc:
