tns livesync ios --watch --emulator doesn't watch html or sass changes, only ts

When I run tns livesync ios --watch --emulator, the project only compiles and relaunches on ts changes, not sass or html files.

I see in the console:

But no relaunch.

I'm running nativescript 2.4

Hi @tskweres,

Thank you for reporting this issue.
We reviewed this case and confirm that this is real problem, while using tns livesync ios --watch --emulator with @next modules. We will investigate further this problem. I also test this case with our latest official modules 2.4.1 and everything seems to work as expected. Regarding to that you could use tns-core-modules 2.4.1, for your project.

Hope this helps.
