Hot reloading with create-react-native app on vagrant

Question

I have used create-react-native-app and expo to build an application on a vagrant ubuntu and run it using yarn start.

When i make changes to my file on my host machine, the changes are not reflected.

With create-react-app, CHOKIDAR_USEPOLLING=true worked and all my changes were reflected instantly but this is not the case for native.

Does anyone know how to get this to work?

What version of npm are you using? create-react-native-app has bugs with npm 5. — Arielle Nguyen, Apr 25 '18 at 05:41

Please try using yarn start instead of npm start since your current of npm (5) has issues with create-react-native-app as of today.

Interesting, do you mind sharing your repo on github so we can take a deeper look? Do you not see any errors in your terminal? – Arielle Nguyen Apr 25 '18 at 06:19
