Jekyll serve --livereload broken on Windows with Ruby 2.5
Closed this issue · 4 comments
Due to various problems with EventMachine gem --livereload crashes.
It apparently it works OK on Ruby 2.3 but as that is not so easy to install on Windows it's probably best to wait for updates.
I added a vscode debugger config launch coga-draft that auto-reloads the browser when the html files in the jekyll _site are updated.
Simply launch the coga-draft debugger config to start Firefox with the index.html. You obviously need the jekyll web server running as well (npm start).
I find it launched the Developer Edition of FFx as I have both installed.
Update - still broken :(
Now we have proper remote debugging in VS code I'll try WSL / WSL2 at some point.
If Rails works for @shanselman I can hope to get the Jeckyll Gem working smoothly. Don't want to run Windows Insiders on main dev PC yet so will try WSL first.
[@yatil you could put the symblinks back too then :)]
Use WSL on windows
