Ionic Serve Live Reload Not Working

Question

I just bought a new MacBook and installed ionic/cordova on my machine, but alas "ionic serve" no longer live reloads HTML changes. Specifically, I see it reloading, but once the reload is complete, the changes are not reflected. Curiously, changes to *.ts reload fine! Any ideas? I'm a newbie but having to stop/start the server each time for every little change is driving me crazy - thank you!

Ionic Framework: 2.0.0-rc.5
Ionic Native: 2.4.1
Ionic App Scripts: 1.0.1

Here's what I see on terminal:

[23:10:04]  build started ... 
[23:10:04]  transpile started ... 
[23:10:08]  transpile finished in 3.93 s 
[23:10:08]  webpack update started ... 
[23:10:09]  webpack update finished in 524 ms

Answer 1

Dev environment:

• Node - v10.17.0
• Npm - v6.11.3
• ionic - v5.4.5

I resolved this issue as follows:

• Updated ionic: npm i -g ionic (went from 5.4.5 to 5.4.6)
• Ran ionic repair
