Repro steps.

setup Ubuntu 16.04
repeat steps described here https://angular.io/guide/quickstart to create new application
install Google chrome Version 62.0.3202.62 (Official Build) (64-bit) and make it default browser

start new application with ng serve --open opens Chrome and application in it, but page reloads few times (the number is random). When I save any my-app source file, chrome reloads and here same few times reload. This not happen with Firefox. It loads application just once.

The log given by the failure.

Not sure what else I can put here. Ask me if I can help.

Desired functionality.

I want application page be loaded just one time in chrome, instead of random reloads number. I could use Firefox, though there are a lot of tutorials explain debug process with Chrome browser. This makes hard to debug application.

Mention any other details that might be useful.

The application as simple as ng new my-app

I'm seeing a similar issue with a simple hello world type app using Chrome 62.0.3202.62 and Ubuntu 16.04.

Heya, I tried reproducing this but I didn't see the random number of reloads. Can you tell me what text editors you're using? Also, does this happen with 1.5.0-rc.7?

[pavlomorozov]

This looks like not depend on text editor. I tried with Ubuntu gedit, Angular IDE (Eclipse), and MS Visual Studio code. It is all the same.

What is your test set up? Ubuntu version? To confirm this I set up fresh clean Ubuntu on VirtualBox so it is quite strange that you cannot reproduce this.

Sorry cannot test it too much deeper, just not have enough time

I am experiencing the same issue. I am using Centos 7 with webstorm.
If I found time this week I will test 1.5.0-rc.7

I have this issue with the very same setup as described by @PavelMorozov. To help the investigation I have uploaded the console log after I have killed the 'ng serve'. The http GET is repeated approximately every 2 second.

Also seeing on Lubuntu with Angular 4 CLI, Chromium, and the Sublime Text editor.

I should add this didn't seem to be happening until the last hour or two.

It seems to be disappeared after adding a proper unsubscribe from an observable. I forgot to unsubscribe from an observable that got subscribed on init.
Added the unsubscribe in the OnDestroy and no reloads anymore
