Live edit doesn't work, Chrome doesn't refresh
I just installed Webstorm and figured I wasn't able to enable nodemon.
So I found this "Live edit" mode and enabled it in Webstorm and installed the Chrome extension as the FAQ instructs.
Now Express is running and Chrome starts with localhost:3000 displaying the page, but when I save changes to any file, nothing happens in Chrome and the changes don't appear until I refresh.
Why doesn't it work? I have Googled for good 20 minutes and a lot of people seem to have similar issues. How can this be so hard?

Did you start the debugger? Live edit only works during a debug session. Please see https://blog.jetbrains.com/webstorm/2014/08/live-edit-updates-in-webstorm-9/.
Note that I'd suggest setting 'Update' in Preferences | Build, Execution, Deployment | Debugger | Live Edit to 'Auto in (ms)' and enabling 'Restart if hotswap fails'
