Livereload not working with browser platform

Ionic Framework ionic-v3
1

My ionic application uses the camera, so I’m using I need cordova support. I’m running the following command to develop:

ionic cordova run browser --livereload

Everything starts fine. And, when I save a changed source file, I do see that ionic is rebuilding. But, in the browser, the source and javascript files do not update. Any suggestions on what I could try next?
I did find a possibly related issue in github. Please let me know if there’s anything I can try, or any more info I can provide. Thank you!

global packages:

    @ionic/cli-utils : 1.4.0

I found something this stackoverflow issue, works okay.

suggest creating an npm script (package.json)

"browser": "ionic cordova run browser",
"browser-live": "ionic-app-scripts serve --sourceMap source-map --iscordovaserve --wwwDir platforms/browser/www/ --buildDir platforms/browser/www/build"

Run in the terminal

npm run browser

npm run browser-live
