styleUrls Weirdness

Ionic Framework ionic-v3
1

I’m able to successfully attach a dynamic stylesheet via:

@Component({
    styleUrls: ['assets/css/stylesheet.css']
})

The problem is that all the style definitions aren’t immediately visible, although most are. However, when I update+save a component’s .SCSS file, upon livereload, all the style definitions become visible as desired.

Is there any way I can trigger that same sort of livereload functionality programmatically within the app itself?

*EDIT: I found a workaround on Stack Overflow: http://stackoverflow.com/a/9345038/1079320
