extra=capture-console Argument for livereload.js lead to browser tab hanging.

[VanDalkvist]

I tried to add

s.setAttribute('src', lrHost + '/livereload.js?extra=capture-console');

to the script that includes lovereload script to html page. And this lead to browser tab hanging. It is normally works with

s.setAttribute('src', lrHost + '/livereload.js');

Browser is Chrome 49.0.2623.112 m

What happens if you enable it through the config options.. still hangs? In the network tab can you see if it actually loading the console capture script? Also, does this happen on more than one browser?

In case I have no clientConsole attribute in config it hangs - in Chrome and Firefox. In this case I have next config:

{
        "livereload": true,
        "directoryListing": false,
        "open": false,
        "host": "127.0.0.1",
        "port": 3111
    };

In case I have clientConsole argument It does not hangs but here is an error in the browser:

2016-04-21 21:08:36.248 (index):73 GET http://localhost:35729/livereload.js?extra=capture-console net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED(anonymous function) @ (index):73(anonymous function) @ (index):74

And livereload doesn't work because file is not loaded. Config for the scenario is:

{
        "livereload": {
            "clientConsole": true
        },
        "directoryListing": false,
        "open": false,
        "host": "127.0.0.1",
        "port": 3111
    }

Thanks, will look into this. I don't use client console capture regularly myself so a bug may been introduced at some point.

Fixed in 1.8.0. This was due to a bug in the console capture script code.
