live-server not reloading browser

Info

I downloaded live-server for nvim with lazy. also globally with npm. It works when running LiveServerStart, but saved changes are not reloaded in the browser. I have to manually reload the browser to see the changes.

Operating System: Ubuntu22.04
nvim --version: v0.9.4
Node package manager:
<node-package-manager> --version: nvm 0.38.0
live-server --version: 1.2.2

Configuration

this is my config located in custom.plugins.lua (I'm using nvchad distro of nvim):

{
        "barrett-ruth/live-server.nvim",
        build = "npm install -g live-server",
        event={"BufReadPre", "BufNewFile"}, --this is for initiate live-server in new buffer
        config=true,
     },

this is what console in browser shows: `Live reload enabled.`

Description

Another thing i noticed, is when running LiveServerStop, i got this message: live-server.nvim: stopped with code 143
Even If I don't make any change to the html file, i got that message when running LiveServerStop.

This is my html file if it is important

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
     <head>
          <title></title>
          <meta charset="UTF-8">
          <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
          <!-- <link href="css/style.css" rel="stylesheet"> -->
     </head>
     <body>
          <h1>Hi</h1> 
     </body>
</html>

It was working very well before, I don't know what happened :'/

Two things:

can you give me more information on your operating system, browser, etc.
can you try this configuration again but remove the event field from the lazy configuration.
run live-server . yourself and open up the browser on the file you're working on. if that doesn't work, then it is a problem with liver-server and not live-server.nvim. If the file you're working on is indeed the one being rendered in the browser, a failure to update is probably not coming from live-server.

Yes sir and thank you for your response and your time. Here you have the specs:

can you give me more information on your operating system, browser, etc.

Operating System (uname -a) : Linux Lenova 6.5.0-14-generic #14~22.04.1-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Mon Nov 20 18:15:30 UTC 2 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Browser: Brave 1.61.116 Chromium: 120.0.6099.217 (Official Build) (64-bit)

can you try this configuration again but remove the event field from the lazy configuration.

I have removed the event field, but the issue persists.

If the file you're working on is indeed the one being rendered in the browser, a failure to update is probably not coming from live-server.

I runned live-server . and everything was working OK even with and without the event field in lazy config. (I've been previously trying with live-server without the '.' and it didn't reload the browser for new changes, the same issue with :LiveServerStart). Even tho, the command :LiveServerStart for nvim is not working. I will be using live-server . in the terminal but I'll be waiting for a response for the issue too so if you need more details I'll be aware :)

I just updated the docs on configuring live-server.nvim with lazy, so delete the plugin and reinstall with that configuration.

Also,

Paste the output of vim.fn.executable('live-server') - this should be 1. If NeoVim can't find live-server then there's something wrongh with your setup.

BTW, I just pushed a change that fixes the "live-server stopped with code 143."

I've reinstalled the plugin with the new configurations. I don't use pnpm but I've tried to build the plugin with it without success, so I did it with npm. The live-server stopped message is updated. The issue persists tho.

 {
        "barrett-ruth/live-server.nvim",
        build = "npm install -g live-server",
        cmd = { 'LiveServerStart', 'LiveServerStop' },
        -- event={"BufReadPre", "BufNewFile"},
        config=true,
},

the output when I do :echo executable('live-server') is 1.

This is the log of Lazy:

Sorry about this bug, it is really confounding. Take for example below, where I start the live-server via :LiveServerStart then view the process and see it is running with ps aux | grep live-server. So, you are saying if you start live-server via the CLI, the browser reflects changes, but via live-server.nvim, it doesn't?

If that's the case, then try to replicate the setup below:

Lastly, the plugin is only about 100 lines long, so debug on your own if you're willing (I should probably add a debug mode myself).

I've recorded my screen so you can see more clearly how the bug is. As you can see, using :LiveStartServer and live-server have the same bug (I need to reload the browser to see changes). But running live-server . works fine.

https://github.com/barrett-ruth/live-server.nvim/assets/102400537/b1faf6d3-8999-419b-b4a9-062188e8a902

This is the output of ps aux | grep live-server when running :LiveStartServer

This is the output when running live-server .

Hope the bug is clearer now.

@SamuelCano03 thanks for the video that is actually helpful.

Can you also run live-server /home/samuelDesktop/.proy from the command line and see if the browser will reload?

gracias :D

The same issue, browser doesn't reload.

If it is important, here is the output of ps aux | grep live-server

This is what I see when pressing f12 in browser:

This is the output of the console of the browser:

@barrett-ruth notice that when running live-server in CLI, after saving changes , there is no Change detected index.html in console (min 0:39). But when running live-server ., it does show the change detected message after saving changes (min 1:01)

it's because the directory is hidden. I replicated the issue using a hidden .proy directory, and the issue went away using a non-hidden directory. I suggest you do not work on major projects using hidden directories - that doesn't seem to make much sense. Otherwise, report the issue with the live-server package directly.

I definitely should've caught this issue earlier - sorry for how long this took to debug. Let me know if you have any other comments, but I don't think there's anything on live-server.nvim's end to change.
