Same here :-( Some days ago it has been working though.

Ionic:

   Ionic CLI                     : 6.1.0 (/home/dev/.nvm/versions/node/v12.16.0/lib/node_modules/@ionic/cli)

   @angular-devkit/build-angular : 0.803.25
   @angular-devkit/schematics    : 8.3.25
   @angular/cli                  : 8.3.25
   @ionic/angular-toolkit        : 2.1.2

Cordova:

   Cordova CLI       : 9.0.0 ([email protected])
   Cordova Platforms : android 8.1.0
   Cordova Plugins   : cordova-plugin-ionic-keyboard 2.2.0, cordova-plugin-ionic-webview 4.1.3, (and 9 other plugins)

Utility:

   cordova-res : 0.9.0
   native-run  : 0.3.0

System:

   Android SDK Tools : 26.1.1 (/home/dev/Android/Sdk)
   NodeJS            : v12.16.0 (/home/dev/.nvm/versions/node/v12.16.0/bin/node)

In my case it has been no error. I just used the http://localhost:8100 - tab already opened by a previous ionic serve session. After I closed it and used the one directly opened by the command line, it worked again :-)

Mhm, the problem reappeared, but persists now :-( Is it possible that structural errors lead to the live reload not working anymore?

[Defcon0]

Could be helpful. My Chrome devtools show up the following issues:

DevTools failed to parse SourceMap: chrome-extension://cfhdojbkjhnklbpkdaibdccddilifddb/include.preload.js.map
DevTools failed to parse SourceMap: chrome-extension://cfhdojbkjhnklbpkdaibdccddilifddb/include.postload.js.map

But the files are valid json files (at least json lint doesn't complain).

See this issue for livereload support with the Cordova browser platform: #3043

I'm seeing that everyone is on Linux. Perhaps there's an issue in the file watcher for Linux?

[KMuthusamyms]

I solved this issue by running the ionic serve or ionic cordova run browser -l in sudo mode.

@KMuthusamyms i don't think that's a problem solved. All because it worked in sudo doesn't mean its a good thing. For me, (as @dwieeb said), it was a file watcher error. I don't remember the command since I copied the command via a different issue. I'll post it later on.
