Ember-cli: Live reload not working

Question

I started my first project with ember cli and I noticed that the live reload isn't working. When I start the development server, I get multiple error messages (see below). Changes to the code base are only available after a restart of the server. ``` $ ember server version: 0.1.2 Livereload server on port 35729 Serving on http://0.0.0.0:4200/ 2014-12-03 17:51 ember[16491] (FSEvents.framework) FSEventStreamStart: register_with_server: ERROR: f2d_register_rpc() => (null) (-21) 2014-12-03 17:51 ember[16491] (FSEvents.framework) FSEventStreamStart: register_with_server: ERROR: f2d_register_rpc() => (null) (-21) ... 2014-12-03 17:51 ember[16491] (FSEvents.framework) FSEventStreamStart: register_with_server: ERROR: f2d_register_rpc() => (null) (-21) 2014-12-03 17:51 ember[16491] (FSEvents.framework) FSEventStreamStart: register_with_server: ERROR: f2d_register_rpc() => (null) (-21) Build successful - 1180ms.

Accepted Answer

The error is essentially caused by FSEvents watching too many files. If you're using Sublime Text, try excluding `node_modules/`, `tmp/`, and `dist/` from your project (add them to the `folder_exclude_patterns` array in your Sublime user preferences).

If you're not using Sublime, or if doing so doesn't fix the issue, try upgrading your version of Node and version of `ember-cli` to the latest versions, as well as installing `watchman` using `brew install watchman` if you have Homebrew installed/are on OS X (as the latest versions of `ember-cli` no longer rely on FSEvents.
