ng serve live reload takes a long time after initial load

[MichalZonis]

Which @angular/* package(s) are the source of the bug?

compiler-cli, compiler

Is this a regression?

Yes

Description

I opened a new project with angular 17. When I run 'ng serve', the initial browser load is normal and as I know from previous angular versions. But when I try to live reload after some minor change to my code, the "Reloading client(s)..." takes a long time to execute if successful at all. I had to exit the ng serve and rerun it for it to work again. Here is my bundle size:

Initial Chunk Files | Names | Raw Size
styles.css | styles | 342.01 kB |
polyfills.js | polyfills | 82.71 kB |
main.js | main | 8.73 kB |

                | Initial Total | 433.45 kB

Application bundle generation complete. [0.131 seconds]

i think there has a been a few reports where ng serve is crashing and all you see on the CLI is "reloading clients"

have not been able to narrow down exactly why this is happening

Could this be a duplicate of #26334? Can you try again on 17.0.2 and let us know if it's still an issue for you?

Apologies for not seeing it's a duplicate.

I updated the version now, it does seem to resolve the issue!
It still says it reloads the clients even though I see it is already loaded, but the actual issue is resolved.

Glad to hear that fixes it.
