Issue: I installed live-server through the command - npm install live-server -g It installed correctly but showed errors that said chokidar@2.1.8: Chokidar 2 will break on node v14+. Upgrade to chokidar 3 with 15x less dependencies. and fsevents@1.2.13: fsevents 1 will break on node v14+ and could be using insecure binaries. Upgrade to fsevents 2. When I run the command - live-server in my project folder, it successfully opens my browser with the index.html file, but does not detect any changes in the JavaScript file, after it is saved, and does not reload the page.

Software Details: Command-line used for launching live-server: Windows Command Prompt OS: Windows 10, x64 Browser: Google Chrome Version 87.0.4280.66 Node.js version: v12.18.3 live-server version: v1.2.1

Make sure that your index.html is a complete HTML doc with a <head> and <body> and everything. Otherwise live-server can't insert its JS.

Please don't mention every contributor to a project like this in the future.

Very sorry if it was disturbing 😟. I'll make sure I don't spam from next time. Anyways, thanks for helping out!
