Dear all,

I have noticed that for some people it works while it doesn't work for some others. Someone has even built his own binary to automatically build and deploy...

I am using Liferay 7.1 GA2 (Community) and my gulp watch doesn't work as you have already understood. I am using Linux, Ubuntu 18. Last time I opened a ticket for this issue, it was Liferay 7 using Windows, 2 years ago and it worked at the end of the day. Now back to Episode II :)

Status is the following:

• gulp build works --> GOOD
• gulp deploy works --> GOOD
• gulp watch partially works, when starting it correctly deploys

When modifying a file, I have

[19:20:41] Starting 'build:clean'...<br> [19:20:42] Finished 'build:clean' after 143 ms<br> [19:20:42] Starting 'build:base'...<br> [19:20:42] Finished 'build:base' after 465 ms<br> [19:20:42] Starting 'build:src'...<br> [19:20:42] Finished 'build:src' after 18 ms<br> [19:20:42] Starting 'build:themelet-src'...<br> [19:20:42] Finished 'build:themelet-src' after 32 μs<br> [19:20:42] Starting 'build:themelet-css-inject'...<br> [19:20:42] gulp-inject Nothing to inject into _custom.scss.<br> [19:20:42] Finished 'build:themelet-css-inject' after 3.87 ms<br> [19:20:42] Starting 'build:rename-css-dir'...<br> [19:20:42] Finished 'build:rename-css-dir' after 76 μs<br> [19:20:42] Starting 'build:compile-css'...<br> [19:20:42] Starting 'build:compile-lib-sass'...<br> [19:20:43] Finished 'build:compile-lib-sass' after 900 ms<br> [19:20:43] Finished 'build:compile-css' after 900 ms<br> [19:20:43] Starting 'build:move-compiled-css'...<br> [19:20:43] Finished 'build:move-compiled-css' after 131 ms<br> [19:20:43] Starting 'build:remove-old-css-dir'...<br> [19:20:43] Finished 'build:remove-old-css-dir' after 20 ms

The modified file is not propagated to the .web_bundle_build so I assume this is where something goes wrong.

What am I doing wrong ?

Thank you in advance for your help,
