No livereload with directory start

[gabrielstuff]

Version : "budo": "8.2.2"
Chrome 50.0.2661.86
Env: Electron: v0.37.7 - node v5.10.0

I'm using Budo with its API.

I'm running :

budo('', {
        live: true, // setup live reload
        dir: path
      }).on('connect', function(ev) {
        console.log('Server running on %s', ev.uri)
        console.log('LiveReload running on port %s', ev.livePort)
        window.webContents.send('server-started', {url: ev.uri, name: path, checked:true})
      }).on('update', function(buffer) {
        console.log('bundle - %d bytes', buffer.length)
      })

Path is a directory. Budo serve everything correctly. Unfortunately altering the .html or .css file does not seems to reload the content. I have to manually reload the page.

Running budo from command line : budo --live --dir=MYPATH works perfectly.

I just tried and things seem fine here. Can you put together a test case so that I can reproduce the issue? Thanks. 😄

Well, it must be something with my computer :(
Just tried the budo command line I posted and it doesn't work anymore : budo --live --livePort=34543 or budo --dir=. --live or budo --dir=MYPATH --live
The example is as it :

'use strict'

const budo = require('budo')
let path = 'pathgoehere'

budo('', {
  live: true, 
  dir: path
}).on('connect', function (ev) {
  console.log('Server running on %s', ev.uri)
  console.log('LiveReload running on port %s', ev.livePort)
}).on('update', function (buffer) {
  console.log('bundle - %d bytes', buffer.length)
})

I just ran into the same problem:

# node: v5.9.0 (npm v3.7.3)
> budo --live --dir=. --debug --host localhost index.js:bundle.js

[0000] info  Server running at http://localhost:9966/ (connect)
[0000] info  LiveReload running on 35729
[0001] 58ms       1610B (browserify)
[0005] 7ms        1610B GET    200 /bundle.js
# Meanwhile `/bundle.js` got altered.
[0011] 3ms        1610B GET    200 /bundle.js
[0012] 1ms        1610B GET    200 /bundle.js

With and without dir it does not re-generate the bundle.js but just delivers the result of the initial compilation 😿.

I also tried deleting all packages upgrading to node: v6.1.0 (npm v3.8.6) and reinstalling.

Back to wzrd and manual reload for now...

Sorry, your message slipped through the cracks of my email it seems.

Can you let me know what OS you are using? I'm using the same command on the same node/npm versions and I can't reproduce any problems. I'm on OSX 10.11.4.

[perguth]

Np, thanks @mattdesl. I am on: OSX 10.11.5

For those experiencing LiveReload issues, you can try the WIP branch here which replaces tiny-lr with a custom WebSocket backend:

Should probably be fixed with latest 10.x release. Please open a new issue if there's any more LiveReload bugs.
