Please provide some more details

What file did you change?
What change did you make?
What were you expecting to see?
What did you see in the browser?
What did you see in the brower's console?

For Webstorm users, make sure "Use safe write" in the settings is disabled, for myself was bugged by this.

tool： sublime

I wrote a code, this code have a problem, this will be an error, the page can not be loaded, the console can see the following information.

Then I deleted the problem code, please note that it is not modified, but completely remove this code.

Then I can see the angular cli built-in webpack to re-compile the changed file. But please note that I found that although the compiler but the error still. As if the file had not been modified. But I re-run ng-serve this time will find the error disappears, the page and the console are normal.

So I had to re-run ng-serve

Just now, I found a problem.There is a simple demo on my computer.

How to solve this problem, look forward to everyone's help. Many thanks

I found the reason for my problem, I wrote a service, but I did not import and use the service anywhere. This will appear [angular-cli] did not detect my service file changes. As long as I imported the service in other components, the use of this service, then this time, my service file when the error occurs, it will immediately [angular-cli] compiler, and found.

I had the same problem in the previous version
"@angular/cli": "1.0.1",
"@angular/compiler-cli": "^4.0.0",

Angular cli started to have the problem that it could not refresh projects upon saving files. So I reinstalled my entire computer. At first Angular cli was working properly again. But after cloning my projects and testing those, I started to have the same problem again....

I had the same problem and stumbled upon #2356. Changing inotify watchers limit as suggested in https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/issues/2356#issuecomment-278298550 was the solution :smile:
