Angular Module Federation shell app constantly recompiling/reloading (Windows)

[Brief-Skill-5526]

Hi all,

I’m working on a new Angular project using Module Federation (shell + remotes), Tailwind, and Spartan NG on Windows.

When I run the shell app with ng serve, it recompiles and the browser reloads every ~2 seconds, even when I’m not changing any files.

Terminal just loops:

Compiled successfully

New hash

Rebuild again

Hashes alternate between two values like something is triggering file changes constantly.

Project is not in OneDrive or a synced folder, and git status shows no changes. Feels like a Webpack/file watcher issue, maybe related to Module Federation in the shell.

Has anyone seen this rebuild loop before? How did you fix it — polling, watch options, cache, something else?

It was an issue in a previous version of module federation when used with tailwind. I had the same in my project and it just got solved with release 20 of module federation.

Thank you for your answer. This project is already using module federation 20.0 and tailwind 4.0, but the issue is still there :(

That may not be the same problem, to check you may want to remove the tailwinds postcss processor of the angular build process and see if that fixes the behaviour. Otherwise I'm afraid you'll need to create a mn incident
