bug v2: "ionic run browser --livereload" is not refreshing the app after changes

[sebastianovide]

• to reproduce
  • run ionic run browser --livereload
  • modify a html or ts file
• expected
  • the app should change. Refreshing the browser you should see the changes
• instead
  • the console shows that the file changes is being copied by the changes are not reflected in the app. It is still necessary to ctrl+c and restart it
• workaround: after the change, wait until when the console shows the file changed and then rsync -rtv www/ platforms/browser/www or run another file watcher: fswatch -r www/ | xargs -I % rsync -rtv www/ platforms/browser/www
• workaround 2 ./node_modules/.bin/ionic-app-scripts serve --sourceMap source-map --iscordovaserve --wwwDir platforms/browser/www/ --buildDir platforms/browser/www/build

+1.
Also, I've double-checked my ionic address. This feature was functioning earlier, but has unexpectedly stopped. Any feedback?

Exactly the same with new version

Please install the latest ionic cli. ionic@2.1.12. This has incorporated the test tag branch. Thanks for your patience. If you are still having issues please let me know!

npm uninstall -g ionic
npm install -g ionic@latest

I'm having an issue with the project failing to build after making a change in src/.

When I run ionic run browser --livereload, it builds fine and opens Chrome etc., but after making a change in a html/scss/ts file, it fails like this:

[14:49:06]  build started ... 
(node:39480) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection (rejection id: 1): TypeError: Cannot read property 'send' of undefined

Same issue on ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS (in docker see below for details):

Cordova CLI: 6.4.0
Ionic CLI Version: 2.2.1
Ionic App Lib Version: 2.2.0
ios-deploy version: Not installed
ios-sim version: Not installed
OS: Linux 4.8
Node Version: v7.6.0
Xcode version: Not installed

Using docker image mkaag/ionic, with docker-compose config:

    image: beevelop/ionic
    ports:
      - "8000:8000"
      - "35729:35729"
    volumes:
      - ../:/myApp
      - ./google-chrome:/usr/local/bin/google-chrome
    working_dir: /myApp
    stdin_open: true
    tty: true
    command: ionic run browser --livereload 

google-chome is an empty bash script as placeholder when ionic tries to run chrome it will not exit with an error.

@jthoms1 I believe we should re-open this issue because it seems this bug still exist in the latest version of the code.

[LufoX11]

It's working as expected in cli 2.2.1 (just updated because I was having this issue in 2.1.0)
