'Site Can't be Reached' when running :MarkdownPreview

[tardiobscurus]

versions:

live-server: @compodoc/live-server 1.2.3
pandoc: 2.9.2.1
node: v18.9.1

PS: I have done :MarkdownPreview github and other default themes; still produce the same problem. I've checked if there is an update on node-js, live-server and pandoc. Seems that node-js had some changes, but is minor line changes so no affect on that.

Whenever I run :MarkdownPreview browser shows a connection error of site not being reached (shown image below):

It might be from the wrong host using the preview, which is 127.0.0.1 with port 8080. If so, how would I change it in the config file - asking for a friend.

I get a similar error. After the initial :MarkdownPreview command, the browser loads and shows the preview. Then, after a time, I get an error saying:

Error detected while processing function 6:

And then the browser gives the error mentioned by OP.

I did some investigation here and found live-server starts on the current working directory (where [neo]vim was started). So, if you start [neo]vim in $HOME, live-server will watch every file under it for changes which causes lots of issues and reload non-stop. I have a fix here which restricts the root to temp mount_path: https://github.com/jtpsh/nvim-markdown-preview/commit/e64c258f41fcfdbc3fd11b4dfa13e64f9cdfb085

Not sure if it will cause some issues but it works well for me.
