I can't get Live Edit to work
I have anew job and i've installed IntelliJ IDEA 12.1.6 and i'm trying to get Live Edit to work for a few hours, but I can't get it to work.
- I've succesfully installed the Live Edit plugin in IntelliJ
- I've succesfully installed the JB extension in Chrome (31.0)
- It does connect to IntelliJ. If I hover over the JB-icon in my chrome, it says it's "connected to IntelliJ IDEA 12.1.6"
- If I open up the generated background page for the Chrome extension, it does look like it's working. For every change I make in my CSS file it receives data.
- The yellow bar with "JetBrains Chrome Extension is debugging this tab" is NOT showing.
- Nothing changes in my page (only after save + refresh in the browser)
The file i'm working on is located in a mapped network drive (development server located somewhere else) and the site is viewed online (not via a localhost). Does the Live Edit plugin only work with a local development setup and not in remote setups?

It seems your page is not detected as inspectable. Please add deployment server (type: in-place, it is part of plugin "Remote hosts") and specify root page URL as deployment server URL.
Please note: Since IDEA 13 LiveEdit works as part of JavaScript debug session only, so, you can try to use IDEA 13 and just create JS Debug run configuration.
That solved it! Thans a lot!
Atmy previous job I developed on a local machine, but now it's on a remote host. That was indeed the difference.
The steps I took to get it to work (for future reference):
- Go to plugins in settings
- Enable the "Remote Hosts Access" plugin
- Go to "tools" > "deployments" > "configuration..."
- Add a new server. Type "In Place".
- Enter the root URL in "Web server root URL" in the tab "connection"
- In the tab "Mappings" enter the local path and the web path.
- Check if the "Project URL" is correct.
- Click Apply or OK.
