livereload.js bug

[sruloart]

Windows Script Host script: C:\users\user\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\haxe-watchify\node_modules\liverreloadx\bin\livereloadx.js Line: 1 Char: 1 Error: Invalid character Code: 800A03F6 Source: Microsoft Jscript compilation error

Can you please share the parameters you've used in order to have that error? From the error message seems you've passed a weird character ...

Question: when I use the livereload feature it opens livereloadx.js in the notepad with the following code:

...

!/usr/bin/env node

require('../lib/cli').run();

Is it ok?

[lucamezzalira]

Let me investigate on that! Thanks for the check!

[sruloart]

I have the code, only on my PC Windows refuses to open the file (with the error I've described above, maybe UAC stuff?). I'll try to look into it as well, I really want to test the live-reload option already :)

ok, I've just tried on mac and it's working properly, I'll check it tonight I hope to solve it asap :+1: thanks to rise the bug

Yeah, it looks like it's Windows only, I don't know why exactly.

However, the workaround was pretty stupid really: since the .js files are associated with the Windows Script Host (for some reason, thank you Microsoft!), I just right-clicked>open with and set it to use node.exe instead.

That also explains why a wild NOTEPAD appeared for @halfabench (his .js files are associated with it).

The issue as a whole might be connected to these issues, but I haven't got the slightest idea :) : ---https://github.com/jrburke/r.js/issues/369 ---https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/6674
