ionic run browser --livereload not working

Question

i was trying to use live reload on my ionic 2 application. so i found this command

ionic run browser --live-reload

is not working as expected

Answer 1

When you run the command ionic cordova run browser --livereload you will see something like this in CLI:

[19:39:00]  dev server running: http://localhost:8100/ 

[INFO] Development server running
       Local: http://localhost:8100
       External: http://192.168.0.51:8100

Just open http://192.168.0.51:8100 or http://localhost:8100 and your live reload will work on that address. Your browser might have opened in http://localhost:8000 instead of 8100
