Auto-Reload not working

[darkyen]

I use a gulp task to build the files and then phonegap serve to serve them, it used to work before /appzip but now it doesn't. It detects files as changed but never updates the developer app.

My bad, cordova.js was not linked properly, i wonder though why is it required for the cordova.js to poll the server ? Why can't a dev script be injected into the index.html or some other server side only measure ?

PS the appzip method seems to take considerable time over the earlier near instantaneous reload.

Hi @darkyen,

Glad you figured out the issue. We're working through some of the shortcomings of the /appzip approach. It's solved a major CORS issue but introduced some annoyances in performance.

We actually do inject the polling logic into all HTML files. However, I've noticed that it listens for deviceready rather than the load event, before initializing. I think your suggestion of using the DOM load event is more flexible without any drawbacks, so I'll create an issue to update that.

One more way could be using diffs ? After the appzip is sent only send the updated files, hot replace and reload them ?

Yea, we've been calling that approach "delta updates." We definitely want
that to land, but decided to do an early release to ensure there were no
major issues (and we have found a few).
