HTML, SCSS not compiled on save - Angular 11.0.2

Question

I upgraded my app to Angular cli ^11.0.2 recently, from then my HTML and SCSS changes are not compiled on save even when ng serve is running. I have to save the respective ts file to get the html changes compile. I saw a related issue on Github with no proper solution(Here). Is this because of ivy engine ? or Did I miss any update on any particular npm package?

Answer 1

This seemed to happen due to default Ivy engine configuration with Angular 11.

I disabled the enableIvy flag in tsconfig.json file like this :

• "angularCompilerOptions": { "enableIvy": false, "allowEmptyCodegenFiles": true }

A friend suggested that AOT with ivy configuration must be avoided in dev environment to avoid this kind of issues.
