Vscode-live-server: vs code is not opening browser directly when live server gets on

[niharikaarora1997]

Hi
When i am running my html file on vs code through "open with live server option" vs code is not opening browser directly when live server gets on its says "server is started at 5500"
and then i have to go to my browser and type "localhost:5500" to get my folder and files .

[ritwickdey]

ok ok! I understand.! I need few details.

you said

"open with live server option" vs code is not opening browser directly"

Have you try 2nd time.?

[niharikaarora1997]

I have tried many times. I even installed lite server. and same issue is there. it shows which server port gets on. and then i have to open my browser myself and type localhost:port to view my page

[ritwickdey]

I mean by 2nd time -> Right Click on html file and click Open with Live Server and again repeat the step without stopping the server. If it's NOT works for you! I've another workaround for you.

Try this, if it not works, tell me about few things -

• OS Name?
• Which browser you want to start?

[niharikaarora1997]

tried this. not working.
Using Windows
and i want to start Chrome

[ritwickdey]

Ok, Let me know, if you have a changed any setting, if not, try following....

Open your User Settings and setup the settings

For 64bit system.

    {
        "liveServer.settings.AdvanceCustomBrowserCmdLine: ": "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chrome.exe",
        "liveServer.settings.NoBrowser": false
    }

For 32bit system.

    {
        "liveServer.settings.AdvanceCustomBrowserCmdLine: ": "C:\\Program Files\\Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chrome.exe",
        "liveServer.settings.NoBrowser": false
    }

[niharikaarora1997]

"git.path": null,
"workbench.iconTheme": "vscode-icons",
"liveServer.settings.CustomBrowser": "chrome",
"liveServer.settings.NoBrowser": true,
"liveServer.settings.ChromeDebuggingAttachment": true

These are my changes settings

[niharikaarora1997]

changed*

[ritwickdey]

Oops!

"liveServer.settings.NoBrowser": true, => means NO BROWSER.
make it false.

[niharikaarora1997]

Yes changed it
Still not working

[MouniBoug]

The same issue, the browser won't open!!

[gauravcap01]

I am also facing same issue. Can someone help?

[ghost]

Any progress on this issue of the browser not opening when o the source page right clicking and selecting, "Open With Live Server"?

• Windows 10 Pro and latest VSCode.
• All my install setting are defaults

Works on other like Windows 10 installs.

[sambgordon]

I would also like to hear if anyone figures this out. On OSX and it does the same.

[OstapHetman]

I have the same problem. My User settings:
{ "liveServer.settings.AdvanceCustomBrowserCmdLine: ": "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chrome.exe", "liveServer.settings.NoBrowser": false }

• My VS code version 1.22.2

• OS: Windows 7

Any new solutions ?

[30ozSteak]

I have a DIFFERENT problem! It seems whenever I try to open a live server, it opens a completely ... different HTML file. I've even closed all the other associated files and it still opens a completely unrelated one.

[Azhorabai]

Same here, however i'm looking for help with firefox. I made no changes whatsoever to the settings file.
Here's my code:

C:\\Program Files\\Firefox Developer Edition\\firefox.exe --private-window "liveServer.settings.AdvanceCustomBrowserCmdLine": null,

Also note that the Go Live button is no longer there.
Right clicking the Html file brings up going live, however nothing happens.

[mjyousse]

Anyone found a solution for this problem? It opens my code tree instead or the actual HTML code. Not sure what to do.

VSC Version: 1.23.1
OS: Windows 10 Pro

[rjoydip]

@mohammadsf i think there is no index.html that's why it opens your code tree when server started.

[mjyousse]

@rjoydip Yea thanks for that.. I'm assuming that sometimes the HTML file doesn't have to necessarily be names"index.html", is there a work around that or not really?

I appreciate i.

[rjoydip]

If any html file opened in your vscode active window then it will open that otherwise it will open a file explore from the you can pick any html and live reload will works as well.

[Cshivers1]

∫ this is what I am getting when I try to use option b with mac. The html file won't open in browser. Uninstalled, disabled it and the opposite. Also deleted visual studios and reinstalled that as well still no avail.

Anyone else having this issue?

[30ozSteak]

@cshivers1

You have to open the project directory in vs code, and not the file itself

-Folder <—— open this in the terminal with code Folder
—index.html
—style.css
—index.js

Then you’ll be able to open in Live server

[Cshivers1]

I use to be able to just press option b and it would load directly from the html file

[ODINAKACHUKWU]

Wow! I was having same issue of not being able to open my file in Live server. But now, I can after opening the project directory in VS Code and not the file itself.

Big thanks to you @30ozSteak

[ehsanyousefi]

close all opened windows in VS and close the program then run as administrator.
now select the folder to open and go live.
it worked for me.

[erike1]

I was having the same problem. alt+l alt+o, the browser didn't open. I would have to go to the browser and type in localhost:port, or 127.0.0.1:port. Well, it was annoying. I had it working until I mess with python installation.
So then I started looking for issues, made the changes like:
{ "liveServer.settings.AdvanceCustomBrowserCmdLine: ": "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe",
"liveServer.settings.NoBrowser": false }

and so on(there is at least 5 issues on github for you to look). I also created a new user for windows and installed VS Code there, and live server still had the same problem.
After trying and trying, I decided to format/reset Windows 8.
After formatting the Discs(C:/ and D:/), I installed windows, then installed Google Chrome, then VS CODE, and finally the Live Server Extension.
Then I tested live server and it worked fine.

After installing a couple of softwares, since I reseted Windows 8, I also installed Avast Antivirus, with all the components.
One component called Avast Browser Secure(something like that) was opening it's own browser. And that component really suck, and after a couple of times I opened live server, it started to cause an error.
Then I uninstalled that component Avast Browser Secure, and live server is working fine as it should be.

So my point here is if you are having issues with the live server, and you've looked the issues here on GitHub, and the issue is still happening, then it might be another software that is interfering, in my case, it was a component of Avast.

My configs:

Windows 8.1 Pro

VS Code Version: 1.27.2 (user setup)
Commit: f46c4c469d6e6d8c46f268d1553c5dc4b475840f

[mjyousse]

@erike1 Thanks for the tip. I had this issue with avast on my laptop (Windows 10) and disabling it got it to work fine for me. Kaspersky also caused the issue on my Desktop (Windows 7).

[GNouchi]

Had this too, fixed it by opening a new vscode and importing the workspace folder again. I think this is due to Explorer pointing to untitled for my workspace directory....not sure how that happened. Anyways it looks like Atom client also had this issue https://github.com/jas-chen/atom-live-server/issues/89

[robert0525]

same with mine... I used to use it for one project and after that any other project dont allow me to do it.
There is an error..

[SirAndrewDillon]

Same problem tried everything. Frustrating. Has anyone solved this?

[ritwickdey]

@majik895 can you please share a screenshot of vscode window?

are you using stable version of vscode?

[SirAndrewDillon]

@majik895 can you please share a screenshot of vscode window?

are you using stable version of vscode?

I fixed it by switching versions of Windows. About fed up and going to start using Linux full time. Thanks for replying. Any chance we can converse. I am studying JavaScript to become a full stack developer and have no to talk to about it. Always running into problems. Doing this on my own.

[ritwickdey]

Hi @majik895. Live Server should work in Linux too... If you're still facing issue.

You can do a text chat with me in Hangout/Skype.

[RJardine]

my buddy had the issue, l just told him to unistall the extenstion and delete all the liveserver configurations in settings.json and restart VSCode. he reinstalled the live server ext and it started to work

[Abdelrhmangad]

Oops!

"liveServer.settings.NoBrowser": true, => means NO BROWSER.
make it false.

i have the same problem i`ve tried several times but no changes happen

[LFlifeng]

I have also encountered the same problem recently, and the reinstallation of vscode has not solved this problem. How to deal with this problem?

[mjyousse]

@LFlifeng check @Abdelrhmangad post right above you. It should fix it.

[ndeamador]

I have tried pretty much everything in this thread and nothing worked so far. I do get the "Live" button but when I click nothing opens (the button does change to "port:5500" and I get a pop-up, but that's about it).

Any idea of what might be causing the problem?

I've tried with both Chrome and Firefox, and even tried installing the "View in Browser" extension and have exactly the same issue (nothing happens).

If I I manually type http://127.0.0.1:5500/index.html in Chrome everything seems to be working fine, so the (rather annoying) only issue is Live Server not being able to directly open the file in the browser when in VS Code I right-click -> "open with live server".

I have:

• Windows 10 x64
• No antivirus (Default Windows Defender)
• Allowed VS Code through the firewall.
• Tried reinstalling the extension, removing the live server config, installing the chrome browser extension...
• Tried disabling Ad Blockers in chrome.

[ansonlowzf]

@ndeamador did you find the solution yet? If yes, please share. I having the same issue... This force me to use webpack dev-server. I wish I can continue using live server directly in vscode

[davispe]

I started seeing this issue with the latest Chrome release (version 75.0.3770.100). I tried changing my default browser in windows and it worked just fine with Edge, FF and Brave.

Also, I noticed that my add blockers and ghostery extensions have not just been disabled but are gone completely. Time to move away from Google?

[itsmeusama]

User Settings > search Custom browser settings and set it to your Fav Custom browser

[HyperionZ]

Me too, I had the same problem, the solution is quite simple, well it worked for me, just change the 127.0.0.1 to 127.0.0.7 or the number you want. Verify that port 5500 was being used but it was the same VSC and decided to change the IP that comes out when loading the pages. I tried again the IP ending in 127.0.0.1 to discard and let it work, so just change the last number of the IP and it will work again

[Odeh76]

My Live extension stopped working after I messed with the system and user variables. If you are facing the same issue using windows 10, doing a reset back to default settings cleared up the issue. This process takes about 15 minutes. I would imagine resetting your PC back to default will get everything working again, regardless of the OS. I tried googling around, changing paths through environment variables and session managers, didn't work until I did a reset. Hope this helps.

[sam-spain]

Encountered this issue. The current workaround that works for me was to select Chrome as my default browser. Firefox wasn't managing to open. Not sure why this issue was closed in January 2018. This thread is the top google result and is still getting comments.

[islandgeek06]

Liver Server worked perfectly fine until i updated VSC. Now it doesn't work at all. We need a solution from the developer/s.

[M-Helmy]

simple solution, you may not open the server it self using npm start in your power shall.

[DonP199]

same problem. installed it yesterday. it worked once for me after asking it to a few times. today, nothing. gave up. there are other options to go with.

[islandgeek06]

What are the other options? I am tired of trying with live server.

Server is started at 5500 but failed to open in Browser Preview. Got Browser Preview extension installed?

[messi618]

[Nandamma]

I am having some issue with visual studio code.i installed visual studio code and i wrote html css and js

[Dmitry567]

This is live server have real issues

[Dmitry567]

This live server have real problems

[aa226]

why not working live server in window 7

[kipruto]

Hey I finally found a solution. I was stuck with this problem for days and after few fixes everything worked.

First: add the following lines to your USER settings.json section (ignore curly brackets if they already exist)

{
"liveServer.settings.AdvanceCustomBrowserCmdLine": "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe",
"liveServer.settings.NoBrowser": false,
"liveServer.settings.port":8080,
"liveServer.settings.proxy":127.0.0.1_
}

Then click on workspace and add the following to setting.json

{
_"liveServer.settings.CustomBrowser": "chrome",
"liveServer.settings.host": "127.0.0.1",
"liveServer.settings.port":8080,
"liveServer.settings.showOnStatusbar": true_
}

After adding these lines make sure VS Code is allowed through Windows firewall. Also you may want to disable any VPNs or IP Maskers.For my case I had CyberGhost which was somehow causing the issue. After everything done RESTART your system. Let me know if it worked

[Priyanshu-kumar-Singh]

just select the browser :-)

[GeekMustHave]

After reading through the posts I tried this which worked for me. I change the address from 127.0.0.1 to 127.0.0.7 and liveserver began working again. No proxy or firewall changes required.

"liveServer.settings.CustomBrowser": "chrome",
"liveServer.settings.host": "127.0.0.7"

[Rickey07]

i am also facing the same problem don't know what to do tried everything from the above. But it is not solving .

[jmh947]

I was having this problem too. You need to save as "Example".html after you do that the colors will change on VSC and then you can Alt B to Open in Default Browser. Hope that helps

[donfre]

I was having the same problem. Restarted VSC a few times with no success. Settings.json fixed it: "liveServer.settings.CustomBrowser": "chrome"

[ansonlowzf]

I was having the same problem. Restarted VSC a few times with no success. Settings.json fixed it: "liveServer.settings.CustomBrowser": "chrome"

Can someone help me?
Thanks

• Windows 10 x 64
• No antivirus (Default Windows Defender)
• Tried reinstalling the extension, removing the live server config, installing the chrome browser
  extension...

[BryndellTorio]

Try this

Open File Folder Settings then include this on the _settings.json_ file.

_{
"liveServer.settings.CustomBrowser": "chrome",
"liveServer.settings.ChromeDebuggingAttachment": true,
}_

Reopen Live Server. Enjoy!

Note:
-I am using google chrome as my browser. Modify CustomBrowser to the browser you desire to use.

[ppshdev]

Are you using windows? If yes, please check your environment variable in the setting whether system32 had been added to the path...

This worked for me!

[ShivShrivas]

Help me, please!!!!!!!!!!!!

[NabeelMansour]

use the ' open in browser ' extension by TechER and the headache will disappear . After that right-click and choose open in default browser (Alt+B) and you are done.

[AbbasRuder]

I also faced a similar problem.I tried to open the live server but it showed a error that said---"Application not found"
This is a simple error. Just go to control panel>default programs>select chrome and set it as your default browser in all.
This solved my problem.Hope this helps.

css content & images are not loading, can you please let me know the reason or am I missing any extensions on VS Code

thanks in advance, really appreciate it.

[do-Va]

Solved.
First unistall vsCode then delete \roamingcode.
Install vsCode then first install theme (if you use) then install LiveServer
(i have 2 extensions) i think... if you install the extensions after LiveServer, doesnt work.

[phemmyjunior]

I updated my visual studio code and since then my live server is messed up, now my vsc doesn't bring "go live" option , someone pls help

did it but its the same.

[jurijus01]

The issue appeared after I stupidly deleted some environment variables.

Fixed by adding a missing variable "Path" pointing to "C:\Windows\System32" folder. This solution was mentioned previously in the thread, but without detailed info.

See screenshot of my Windows10 variable added that was missing.

On other versions of Windows path may be different.

open the folder of your project in vscode and then open the file and run live server, will surely work.

How to do this on ubuntu

[ArhamZaldin]

for anyone who still can't open browser automatically after turn on the live server, i have a solution for you. just change/delete the space on your name file. ex: your file name is "live server.html", just change it to "live_server.html" or "live-server.html" or "liveserver.html".
hope this works on you. sorry for my bad english.

[BetaxxxCross]

You just need to set your environmental variable to the default one. Here's the better one:
C:\Windows\System32; C:\Program Files; C:\Program Files (x86);%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;
Just click on your path and edit paste this and voila you're good

I was having the same issue for quite some days, I tried many things but nothing seemed to work until I realised that the culprit was the environment variables. I don't know how but I corrupted the environment variables on my windows 10 machine, Some of them were deleted. I had an iso file of windows 10 which using which I installed windows 10 in virtual box and exported the environment registry entries from their and then slightly edited them according to my current system configuration and merged them into the registry. Since then, I did not have any issue with live server. Actually it was not the issue with the live server, I also tried to install Atom editor, But extensions similar to live server were not working there as well.

[razzlepazzle]

I selected "Go Live" from my html file under Open Editor. I'm not sure if it was just time that I needed to get the file to work and if the time had finally come for me or if that was the actual solution.

Thank you so much. It works!! :')

The issue appeared after I stupidly deleted some environment variables.

Fixed by adding a missing variable "Path" pointing to "C:\Windows\System32" folder. This solution was mentioned previously in the thread, but without detailed info.

finally it worked, thanks a lot.
issue was pressing the live button didn't directly redirect to chrome, but it was working fine if I manually go to localhost:5500 (auto refresh was also not working)

I encounter the same problem but when I go to the live server setting. at the Live Server › Settings: Https I changed the value of enable to false. Then it works fine with chrome. Otherwise you have to change the https to http because others browser use http for the link .

I made a change as per your instruction,..it does not work please help.

[akhilreddy619]

I have followed all of the above suggestions. But none of them are working for me. I re-installed the live server. Set the default browser to chrome. Added the above mentioned directories to the Path system variable. When I righ-click and select open with live server, it starts but the browser does not open. Please help me with this.

Thank you so much my live server started working

How do i fix this with a mac?
I had to uninstall and reinstall so I could get my command palette as it was missing. To do this i really cleaned out all past vs hidden threw out my computer as the first attempts did not do the trick. I finally got enough for my other issue to be fixed but now Im pretty sure I may of not got it all back right because now my LS is not opening as it should. ..How can i restore the path on a mac?
I have already added the"liveServer.settings.NoBrowser": false as it was not in my json at all but it did have this."liveServer.settings.donotShowInfoMsg": true, not sure what that is. I have also changed my"liveServer.settings.CustomBrowser": "chrome", to point right at chrome and also made sure to change my user browser in my box to reflect the same. is someone able to help with this one?

[Zetrick]

You have to open the project directory in vs code, and not the file itself

-Folder <—— open this in the terminal with code Folder
—index.html
—style.css
—index.js

Then you’ll be able to open in Live server

This solved the problem for me! Thanks!
