livestyle dies on fileWatch on windows #14

I hope 2259241 fixes this. Can someone confirm?

@walling: Turns out Adblock for Chrome likes to inject a data: url stylesheet, which wasn't being filtered, and that freaked out fs.watch on Windows.

If you're using Chrome with AdBlock that would explain your troubles. In that case, could you please try again with livestyle 0.0.12? It works for me in Windows 7 now.

walling commented 12 years ago

I tested livestyle 0.0.14 in Chrome on Windows 7 with and without AdBlock Plus enabled. The first change in the CSS (after I start livestyle) is applied correctly, but after that it doesn't update the CSS anymore. There is no error traces / messages from the livestyle server and in the Chrome console.

When I refresh the web page, the next change in the CSS is applied as well and then it stops working. I don't need to restart the livestyle server.

@walling: We just added a debug mode (included in 0.0.14), could you try again with livestyle --debug and gist the output?

papandreou commented 12 years ago

@walling: The debug mode also logs a bunch of useful info in the client (goes to console.log). Would be very helpful if you included that in the gist, too :)

The funny thing is that the client seems to get the event that the CSS file changed, but it is not updated in the browser.

walling commented 12 years ago

Maybe it has something to do with the change event firing twice. Why is that? :-)

@walling: Thanks a lot, turned out I could reproduce it with node 0.6.x. I'm usually stuck on 0.4.12.

walling commented 12 years ago

I tested livestyle 0.0.16 with node 0.6.8 on windows 7 and it works great! Actually I'm going to use it today on some website design I'm doing.

Great. Thanks for your patience so far :)
