I'm also experiencing the same problem and decided to do some testing across a few setups to see if it was consistent across different hardware setups.

I've isolated the problem down to MacOS Mojave as the culprit. I upgraded to Mojave from High Sierra, so I'm not sure if the upgrade causes the liver server auto-reload problem, meaning it maybe okay on a fresh install of Mojave.

Here's what I tested…

  1. Mojave - VS Code(1.28.1) - Chrome (69.0.3497...) - Does NOT Live Reload
  2. Mojave - VS Code(1.28.1) - Safari (12.0.14606...) - Does NOT Live Reload
  3. High Sierra - VS Code(1.28.1) - Safari (12.0.13606...) - Live Reload Works!
  4. Windows 10 - VS Code(1.28.1) - Chrome - Live Reload Works!

Not sure why Mojave would be blocking live reload, but it seems to be doing something.

I was able to get Live Server Reload to work on my Mac w/Mojave by uninstalling everything and re-installing. This means doing a “full un-install” and not simply deleting the application. To do this I followed the following instructions…

After completely removing everything and re-installing Vs Code and the Live Server extension, the automatic reload was working again. Not sure if its a Mojave issue or an issue with my vs code setup with extensions etc. I re-installed the extensions that I used and live reload is working fine.

NOTE: If you do this you will need to backup and preferences/settings you have set if you want to re-establish them after you re-install.
