@ycpatel813 @udanpe there's a quick fix for this that worked for me. Not sure if itll work for you but its worth a shot.

1. Open up the npm-modules/trailpack-autoreload/index.js file.
2. Add the "usePolling" property and set it to true, here https://github.com/trailsjs/trailpack-autoreload/blob/master/index.js#L33

This left me wondering if these config changes should be loading and defined by the user within the app. humm. I feel it should be so I created a PR. #7

I think I have the same issue (node 6.9.2 / express 4 / handlebars).

App seems to reload just fine "App reloaded with changes in api/controllers/DefaultController.js" when files are changed in api or config, but reloading the web page doesn't reflect the changes made.

• Tried changing the title passed to my view but text stays the same on the page.
• Also tried adding a controller action with a route, but I get a 404 when reaching that route.

In both of the above cases, restarting the app manually produced the expected changes.

I suspect Express (or Hapi) has some kind of cache that should be cleared on autoreload., but I didn't find anything in the API for this purpose. Looking at sails-hook-autoreload, they call sails.router.flush(); but this is a custom Sails router function.

@udanpe: Maybe the subject should be more specific, like "Detected file changes aren't reflected after browser reload"

• node v6.9.5

The exact same thing is happening to me. It autoreloads, but doesn't actually accept my changes.
