Menu
My config does everything it's supposed to, but it never refreshes the browser. Once I refresh it manually, changes are there. I am connecting to the default localhost:3000. Any ideas why is it so or how to debug it?
gulpfile.js:
var gulp = require('gulp');
var sass = require('gulp-sass');
var sourcemaps = require('gulp-sourcemaps');
var browserSync = require('browser-sync');
gulp.task('html', function () {
browserSync.reload();
});
gulp.task('sass', function() {
return gulp.src('./app/scss/style.scss')
.pipe(sass())
.pipe(gulp.dest('./app/css'))
.pipe(browserSync.reload({ stream:true }));
});
gulp.task('serve', function() {
browserSync({
server: {
baseDir: 'app'
}
});
});
gulp.task('default', ['serve'], function () {
gulp.watch('./app/scss/*.scss', ['sass', browserSync.reload]);
gulp.watch('./app/*.html', ['html', browserSync.reload]);
});
example of a console output:
[BS] Local URL: http://localhost:3000
[BS] External URL: http://192.168.1.3:3000

I figured it out: browser-sync doesn't like implicit html tags, so this (although valid HTML5) will not work:
<!doctype html>
<title>implicit</title>
but this will:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<title>full doc</title>
</head>
<body></body>
</html>
