Disable LiveReload with Yeoman

Question

When testing in IE8, LiveReload throws errors since web sockets is not supported. Is there a way to configure yeoman to disable LiveReload?

Answer 1

IE8 isn't supported by Yeoman, for good reason.

However, you could do what Allan describes, or you could override the server task, by putting this in your Gruntfile:

grunt.registerTask('server', 'yeoman-server');

Answer 2

Try to use <!--[if !IE]><!--></body><!--<![endif]--><!--[if IE]></body><!--<![endif]--> instead of </body>.

Generator would try to replace first </body> element and add livereload snippet before it, so code would be placed in invisible for IE space.

P.S. It`s dirty hack so use this carefuly

Answer 3

Put this in your Gruntfile:

grunt.registerHelper('reload:inject', function () {
  return function inject(req, res, next) {
      return next();
  }});
