How to do remote debugging with Browser-sync?

Question

I have installed browser sync with npm. On their website, they have mentioned that it also allows remote debugging. But they have not mentioned that how to do remote debugging. I have used below command to run mysite on browser-sync. browser-sync start --proxy localhost:8080/mysite

how can I remote debug that?

Answer 1

Though this was quite a tricky process in versions before Browser-sync 2.0, but with Browser-sync 2.0 you now have a brand new Web UI, which makes this process a whole lot easier.

Firstly you need to update Browser-sync to it's latest version

npm install -g browser-sync@latest

Then run any command like you would.
eg:

browser-sync start --proxy "myproject.dev" --files "css/*.css"

To open this Web UI open

http://localhost:3001
