Cmd-R not refreshing?

[tehfailsafe]

Everything loads up fine, example are are running smoothly, but if I make a change in the JS file and hit Cmd-R in the simulator, nothing happens. Did I forget something?

xcode - Version 6.2 (6C131e)
simulator - Version 8.2 (553.8
watchman - 3.0.0
node - 0.12.1

+1 -- I've even deleted the folder, re-created a new folder, run the app, and I'm still seeing my changes from before the delete.

xcode - Version 6.2 (6C131e)
yosemite - 10.10.1
node 0.12.0

Can you try restarting your computer? The FileWatcher might be in a bad state

[tehfailsafe]

I restarted a few times, uninstalled/reinstalled node and watcher, and now reinstalling xcode.

It works fine for me. Make sure to use the latest stable version of XCode, and install XCode Command Line Tools.

Installing xcode from the app store, should I grab a different one?

[amasad]

I doubt Xcode is the problem here. If the app opens in the simulator and renders it's probably something in the packager. This is a long shot but maybe the packager is run in in the wrong directory. Can you go to the directory you're changing and manually start the packager? You can use react-native start

[tehfailsafe]

I was running npm start from react-native root, but even starting it deeper in still pacakages from the main directory.

> react-native@0.2.1 start /Users/me/react/react-native
> ./packager/packager.sh

Also watching some others on youtube and it seems there's a blink or flash in the simulator on the reload. When I hit Cmd-R there's no blink or anything, nothing happens at all.

Are there any logs in your terminal? It should say something about the
requests and time taken.

If there aren't any then there might be something wrong with the Cmd r
itself

When I make a change in the editor I see this in the terminal:

[21:46:15] <START> find dependencies
[21:46:15] <END>   find dependencies(5ms)
[21:46:15] <START> transform
[21:46:15] <END>   transform(189ms)

But that is when I save from the editor, before attempting to hit Cmd-R

[tehfailsafe]

hitting Cmd-R in the simulator produces no logs in the terminal or in xcode console.

You have to hit Cmd+R twice, every time :)

[tehfailsafe]

I am spamming it 50 times, doubt that's the problem... :)

Fun note, learned from @jordwalke on twitter to use the shake gesture to bring up the dev dialog, and reloading from there works great. Also enabling live reload now works by just saving the JS file without touching Cmd-R.

Turns out it's a simple hardware keyboard setting in the simulator menu. Never would have thought to check that, especially since things like alt-drag work for multi-touch emulation without this setting enabled.
