I'm following the guide here (https://angular.io/docs/ts/latest/quickstart.html), and after I did npm start, it opened up the app in a new tab and then began a cycle of infinite reloading. In my terminal, I see messages like this:

[BS] File changed: node_modules/rxjs/operator/sampleTime.js

[1] [BS] File changed: node_modules/rxjs/operator/scan.js


There are many variations of this - and obviously I'm not editing the files myself. Any ideas?

Interesting - the issue was me starting in app, not the real root of the quick start. All is good now.

I tried going through the quickstart, but I found this example app that kinda covers all the basics:


It helped me wrap my head around many of the angular 2 concepts

Ok, as a follow up, I'm seeing the issue again while working on the Tutorial. I made sure I did not npm start in app folder. As before, I'm seeing multiple "File changed" messages for stuff inside node_modules. Things worked fine for a while, but now the tab is constantly reloading.

Ok, looks like - maybe - it was Dropbox. Telling it to pause syncing seems to have helped. Oddly - last mod values for the files weren't changing so I don't think Dropbox was 'updating' them, but, whatevs. :)
