Hot reloading not working in React Native using Docker












1














I'm trying to get started with React Native on my Windows 10 machine using Docker containers. I get an app running, I connect to it via LAN, but when I change the code, it doesn't change on my device, even if I shake and press Reload.



I'm using the Expo client on my Android phone to open the app. The app is the basic multiple page template offered by expo init. As it suggests, I edited screens/HomeScreen.js, but the app didn't change. I have Live Reloading and Hot Reloading enabled. Pressing Reload reloads the app, but it stays the same. When I cat the file inside the container, it is changed, it just so happens that the bundler doesn not pick up the changes.



I have the following folder structure:



.
├── dev
│ ├── MyProject1
│ └── Dockerfile
└── docker-compose.yml


docker-compose.yml:



version: '3'

services:

app:
build: ./dev
volumes:
- ./dev:/code
environment:
- REACT_NATIVE_PACKAGER_HOSTNAME=192.168.1.19
working_dir: /code/MyProject1
command: expo start
ports:
- "19000:19000"
- "19001:19001"
- "19002:19002"


Dockerfile:



FROM node:11.5.0-alpine

RUN apk add bash

RUN mkdir /code
WORKDIR /code
RUN npm install -g expo-cli


The MyProject1 folder contains the app itself.
