Nativescript: iOS live editing app crash on js files

[rborn]

Trying to edit a js file on iOS will crash the app on the first save. If I simply save the file again the app will restart ok. So each edit needs 2 save actions.

Same problem here

I think this is duplicate of https://github.com/NativeScript/nativescript-cli/issues/2732
We are aware and issue will be fixed in first hot-fix release after 3.0.0.
Hope it will be live by the end of this week.

I may be wrong here, but looks like this issue is different to NativeScript/nativescript-cli#2732
I have seen a double save issue where one save crashes the ios app in the simulator but keeps the livesync on and another save brings the app back. This has an error:
CoreSimulatorBridge[2296]: Non-FBS error launching.
While another error, which 2732 , is where livesync itself crashes on save and we need to run the command again. Here, the error is:
xcrun simctl launch
The following may be completely not related, but one difference I noticed was the prior error in a javascript app and the latter one in a ts app. Could be something else too.

Hi @atameet @b4rtt @rborn fix is already available in master, can you please try:

npm un -g nativescript
npm cache clean
npm i -g nativescript@next

I'm reopening the issue now, if you still experience problems when save only once, please post more details:

• Can you reproduce it with hello-world app?
• What plugins you use in your app (preferably post our package.json)?
• What is the IDE you use for development?

Hi @dtopuzov the double refresh issue seems to be working now. thanks.
about the livesync crashing: that too does not seem to crash.
one thing though. in a livesync with attached debugger (vscode) is it suppose to re-attach on its own after a file change or is it manual?
thanks

Closing since original issue is fixed.

@atameet If you encounter other problems, please log them as separate issues (and provide as much info as possible).
