Hot Reloading not working out of the box (with start template)?

[aidan-rypens]

Steps to reproduce

Gatsby starter template & Gatsby develop

Expected result

On changing the styling / content of a component the webpage should refresh itself.

Actual result

Page is not refreshed. Manually pressing reload updates the content.

Environment

System:
OS: Windows 10 10.0.18362
CPU: (12) x64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8850H CPU @ 2.60GHz
Binaries:
Node: 12.9.1 - C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.EXE
Yarn: 1.17.3 - C:\Users\arypens\AppData\Roaming\npm\yarn.CMD
npm: 6.10.2 - C:\Program Files\nodejs\npm.CMD
Browsers:
Edge: 44.18362.387.0
npmPackages:
gatsby: ^2.18.12 => 2.18.12

After reading through the documentation, hot reloading seems to be shipped with Gatsby? When opening the developer tools in Chrome I do see:
' gatsby react-hot-loader react-🔥-dom patch is not detected '. Do you have to install something locally?

It does work on my home computer and laptop.

Hot reload should (and does) work just fine. Just tried it out.

@AidanRRR Does updating to the latest version of gatsby help?

@AidanRRR
What I did was do gatsby build
I dont know why, but it makes hot reloading work on gatsby develop after doing gatsby build.

Hi friends!

Im running gatsby develop on windows. After trying many things, including wsl, npm clenaup etc, I realized that my antivirus sophos was blocking the webpack hot reload socket __webpack_hmr.

All I had to do is to disable the antivirus for a while. ( You are free to uninstall it or maybe change to another one ).

hope it works for you ;)

having the same problem firefox displays an HMR error

however running it in incognito in chrome fixed the issue. I'm new to gatsby anyone here why is it working only in incognito?
