Multiple budo servers in parallel sometimes drop all styles

[jimdebeer]

pull element branch refactor/state

npm run example root
npm run example collection

these examples require the same css files -- weird stuff happens you'll see

[jimdebeer]

seems something else -- also happens sometimes when not running 2 examples

Ok I'll check it

@jimdebeer I'm not seeing any weird stuff. What is it you expect to see that is not happening?

[shawninder]

To reproduce, it's important to launch both npm run example root and npm run example collection at the same time. Then, make some changes to the CSS and save them. Repeat this last step until all styles disappear from on of the pages.

This might be a problem with budo itself, but that needs to be confirmed.

I've reproduced this with a single budo process. I'm pretty sure this is because budo does its stuff when browserify is done, which doesn't mean the transform is done bundling the CSS. So at the time the browser downloads the CSS bundle, it's not ready, and budo doesn't know it has to wait because the JS part is indeed finished.

There is no issue for this but it's been on my radar since the beginning (this is partly why I started with a plugin, not a transform...). Notice the postcssify tests have a setTimeout to mitigate this issue until solving it becomes the priority. Since it breaks budo (and not only the tests), I will bump this back into top priority and do this next (now). But it's not going to be easy...
