Not Working: Option Log Level is not Valid

Closed this issue · 8 comments

Hello, I've installed using the instructions on the README. When I open a markdown file, my browser (Firefox) pops open a new tab at localhost:8090, but nothing shows up.

I then tried echo "lala" | instant-markdown-d

Again, Firefox popped into view with new tab, but it was just reading and reading from "localhost". looking back at my terminal it was blocking with the following message: Option log level is not valid. Please refer to the README.

Not even sure which README I should be referring to. Thoughts?

Thanks in advance.

Same issue. On macOS 10.13 w/ Safari - I open a markdown file in Vim and a new browser tab opens, as expected, but I cannot connect to the server and there's no preview. When I run the instant-markdown-d command directly I get the same error message.

@alexandre-floriano, @randre03, check what you get when you run echo $BROWSER

I had my $BROWSER variable set to w3m, which does not work. Setting it to firefox made it work. Hope this help 😄

Sadly that didn't help, any other solution?

I ran into this problem while maintaining the AUR package, but it seems to be working fine now. Is everything upgraded to the newest version? If you need this specific version for some reason, this is what I used to fix it previously:

This is an issue with the upstream socket.io. If you pin socket.io to version 0.9 it should work.

patch "package/package.json" "pin-socket-io-version-at-0.9.patch"
pin-socket-io-version-at-0.9.patch

 }

See cameel's comment on this AUR package.

@nytpu The last released instant-markdown-d on npm registry is super old so don't rely on it for now. Use the one on github.

New versions are available now
