Max Rydahl Andersen commented on JBIDE-17944:
---------------------------------------------
I think browsersim should support file:// natively.
But there is a point in having the option to "simulate" standalone apps, but for
that we already have livereload that can serve out content via http (but it doesn't
know about web content root ;/)
One could argue maybe preview should get more of the features browsersim has (mobile
support etc.)
I think there is a middle ground to be found though - but not sure how to do it without
making it utterly complex to manage ;)
BrowserSim: Use http: protocol instead of file: for accessing local
files
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: JBIDE-17944
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-17944
Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
Issue Type: Feature Request
Components: browsersim
Reporter: Alexey Kazakov
Assignee: Konstantin Marmalyukov
Fix For: 4.3.0.Alpha1
Currently, BrowserSim works through file: protocol but this protocol doesn't work
well with paths relative to the webroot (which start with "/").
So if a local file contains any links to local resources (css, js, ...) via relative
paths then these resources are not available in BrowserSim.
For example all official ionic example projects use such paths. It makes "open with
BrowserSim" feature useless for those projects.
It would be great if BrowserSim uses http: as our HTML5 preview does.
