I have a strange issue where the development server for JS doesn't start in --continuous mode. Yesterday it worked, today it doesn't. I am running 1.5.0 and Gradle 7.0.1. Any idea what can be the cause?

I also cleaned build and invalidated caches, but to no avail.

Have you checked gradle and browser logs for any (compilation?) errors?

[Big Chungus]

Dev server won't start if compilation fails

[Arjan van Wieringen]

Compilation works, because it works without --continous

[Arjan van Wieringen]

When adding --continous the build stops after building buildSrc

[Arjan van Wieringen]

But I'll check gradle logs

[Arjan van Wieringen]

Nope, no errors

[Big Chungus]

You could start devServer without --continuous and run kotlinJsCompile task in a separate proccess in continuous mode

[Big Chungus]

Should achieve the same end result

[Arjan van Wieringen]

ah, I'll try that

[Arjan van Wieringen]

let me see

[Big Chungus]

Although this is obviously just a workaround as devServer should work with continuous, Maybe worth raising a youtrack ?

[Arjan van Wieringen]

let me see if it works first, maybe I get same issue with kotlinJsCompile task as well

[Arjan van Wieringen]

Same issue

[Arjan van Wieringen]

The only thing I changed between today and yesterday is that I harmonized my dependencies via buildSrc, so I guess that is the issue

[Arjan van Wieringen]

I'll reaise a YT issue

[Big Chungus]

You could revert your buildSrc and use this instead

[Big Chungus]

It should theoretically unblock you short-term

[Arjan van Wieringen]

thanks a lot

[Big Chungus]

Did it work?

[Arjan van Wieringen]

Yup

[Arjan van Wieringen]

Thanks, and I filed a YT issue
