[CLOSED] Live Preview doesn't update when using quick edit CSS #6156

Open core-ai-bot opened 3 years ago

Issue by kwadkore Friday Feb 07, 2014 at 01:19 GMT Originally opened as https://github.com/adobe/brackets/issues/6785


I just downloaded brackets and followed the getting started page. When I edit CSS using quick edit, the live preview doesn't change, but when I go to the css page, change the values and/or force the page to reload, the page shows the changes. And sometimes when I save the HTML page, live preview disconnects altogether.

I'm using OS X Mavericks

Take look at the Live Preview section of the Troubleshooting guide to see if any of those suggestions help. Thanks.

Marking medium priority on the assumption that it's a real bug until we know more.

Also,@silent1 - which CSS file are you editing in this case? Could you give exact steps?

Unfortunately I opened a new folder and can't find the location of the intro files but I can describe what happens in the new folder. The results are the same.

I have an HTML file that references a CSS file in the same folder. I open up Brackets, open up the HTML file and then turn on live preview. I can change text in the HTML file and the changes are shown when I save the HTML file. When I use quick edit (Command+E) to modify the CSS, no changes are shown, even when I save (using command+S). However, if I make a change in the CSS using quick edit, save the CSS changes, then modify the HTML and save the HTML file, both the HTML and CSS changes are shown.

From the introduction page, I was given the impression that CSS changes would be shown immediately without the need for saving or modifying other parts of the HTML file. That is not the behavior that I experience.

This kinda sounds like #6912. @silent1 Which Chrome version are you using?

I am on version 33.0.1750.117 as of today. I'm not sure which version I was on when I opened the issue.

Live Preview doesn't stop working altogether. The symbol in the top right stays yellow, which is why saving the HTML file automatically updates the preview. It's just that saved changes to the CSS file through quick edit don't show up until a change to the HTML file is saved. Unsaved CSS changes don't show up at all.

Somehow I got a really old version of Brackets. I downloaded the new version and this works now. Sorry for the false alarm.
