browser doesn't refresh

[mqliutie]

In my gulpfile.js :

var gulp = require('gulp'),
    less = require('gulp-less'),
    livereload = require('gulp-livereload');

gulp.task('less', function() {
  gulp.src('less/*.less')
    .pipe(less())
    .pipe(gulp.dest('css'))
    .pipe(livereload());
});

gulp.task('watch', function() {
  livereload.listen();
  gulp.watch('less/*.less', ['less']);
});

terminal, I gulp watch . When I change less file terminal give me this message(below picture), But browser doesn't refresh . How can I solve it ?

I'm not sure if this is the same case of the others, but as someone coming from a different platform, I've been following examples and gists for hours, including the instructions in this repository to set this up without success.

One thing that was not clear to me at all is that you need to install the livereload chrome extension or inject the livereload.js in your page, either manually or using a middleware. I know the website mentions "this is best used with the extension", but I jumped to "Usage" and just followed the instructions there, missing that completely.

Another thing is that since I was not calling from pipe(), I had to call livereload.reload() instead of livereload().

@vohof, it would be really useful to add a paragraph to the README right before the Usage example saying:

First of all, install the LiveReload chrome extension or setup a middleware (eg. app.use(livereload.middleware( ... )). otherwise it won't work.

This may sound basic, but a lot of people coming to the platform may not know that.

I started running into this today, I just figured it was because of a chrome update?

[cyrusdavid]

@nvivo Thanks, will do that.

[lulato]

@nvivo How exactly do you go about doing that?

[nvivo]

@lulato In my case, I solved it by installing the chrome extension that adds livereload.js to the page.

[lulato]

you should probably mention that you need to check that box

I had the same issue with chrome extension. Solved it by: 1) allowing extension access to file URL (see lulato's message) 2) using livereload.reload() instead of livereload()

Hello. I have the same issue. I did all what you previously said (chrome plugin, allowing extension access to file URL, I didn't changed livereload() to livereload.reload() because I'm calling it from .pipe so I guess it's no need) But still, my Chrome won't refresh. It's really annoying. Does someone have a clue please ? <3
