Ionic 2 Visual Studio Template - Live reload not working

Question

I downloaded and installed the latest Visual Studio Ionic 2 templates for Visual Studio Tools for Apache Cordova. I am using Visual Studio 2017 Professional.

To my disappointment, I found that the Cordoba live reboot function does not work at all. When I change the HTML, the only way for Simulate Cordova to reflect these changes is to stop debugging and redeploy the project, which takes a considerable amount of time and makes the development workflow a real pain.

Another problem arises whenever more than one Ionic project is carried out. I found that since Ionic uses the same port for deployment, then when starting one of the projects, the running application will be confused as to which application I am requesting and often show another application instead of the one I want.

Any ideas?

You need to manually configure the "watch" task, which will be launched when the project is opened. Add the following field:

"ProjectOpened": [ "watch" ]

to the "-vs-binding" object in your package.json.
