React-native: Changes is not updating

[thiagoterleski]

Hi, I've been trouble with react-native, I start a new project with react-native init, install dependencies, all right without errors, but when i run my app with react-native run-android the app opens in my device but if I change any file, it's not refresh, not update, nothing changes, if i force to 'reload', the app is refreshed but my changes not appear, so i have to run run-android again for see my changes.

My node version is v4.4.7
react-native-cli: 1.0.0
react-native: 0.24.1

Thanks!

Hope to help you

Hi @thiagoterleski,

Did you installed watchman as described in the Getting Started documentation ?

Watchman is uses to watch files and record when they change. It can also trigger actions (such as rebuilding assets) when matching files change.

Since you're trying to do a fresh react native project, the version of react native should be 0.30.0 instead of 0.24.1 ?

Hi @charpeni,

So, i'm using windows and i can't install watchman, my react native version is 0.30.

found "react-native/packager/react-packager/src/DependencyResolver/FileWatcher/index.js"
then change "const MAX_WAIT_TIME = 120000" to "const MAX_WAIT_TIME = 360000"

This worked for me. I had same issue but solved exporting path

1. echo 'export ANDROID_HOME=/Users/$USER/Library/Android/sdk' >> ~/.bash_profile
2. echo 'export PATH=${PATH}:$ANDROID_HOME/tools:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools' >>~/.bash_profile
   then
3. source ~/.bash_profile

I was having a similar issue. Updates to index.js in RN 0.52 didn't update on actual phone. Finally found that rm -rf node_modules && npm install
