Vscode-live-server: command 'extension.liveServer.goOnline' not found

[ann-maier]

Hello, I have a problem with opening live server. It worked perfectly month ago, but now when I try to do it I have a warn/error (if I use command palette) message:

command 'extension.liveServer.goOnline' not found

I have tried to uninstall/install it again, but it does nothing.

[ritwickdey]

I'm not sure, why it's happening!

This is same as #75

Work-around : C:\Users\Anna\.vscode\extensions\
and Delete the folder ritwickdey.liveserver-3.2.0

and install Live Server again.

[ann-maier]

Finally worked, thanks a lot!

[ritwickdey]

Seriously I don't know why it's happening.
It may an issue of vscode while upgrading extension.
I'm thinking to redeploy it.

Anyway, thanks for the report & the confirmation !

If you really like the extension, please drop a review in vscode marketplace.

I had the same problem, which was fixed by deleting the folder and reinstalling Live Server. Just for you know it.

[joeEscob1023]

I found small issue where if I open VScode and start new index.html file there is no Go Live shortcut and VScode has purple bottom border, and then if I go to open and open folder containing index.html file then i see VScode bottom border is blue and clicking on index.html then I have shortcut to live server in VScode bottom border. I wonder if previous issues above are same thing where the user is not in a folder and just on a standalone file ?

[rjoydip]

@NickFoden This is Strange. Can you provide some screenshot?

[NickFoden]

Sure here is if I open empty VSCode and start new index.html file and have saved it.

And then here is if I open parent folder of the index.html file. Now has live server shortcut and window is blue border.

@rjoydip thanks for all your work. I love live server.

This is on:
VS Code 1.25.1 June 2018 Version
Windows 10 Pro
64 Bit Operating System, x64-based processor

But i believe same situation at home on 2017 MBP and up to date VSCode

[dipadana]

@NickFoden thank you for the tutorial. @rjoydip I love this extension!

Hi, I use windows. Only thing I know and worked in my case is go to extension folder and delete it there, and install it again in VSC then. My route for extensions is Computer -> C: -> Users -> my name folder -> .vscode -> extensions and inside you should find extensions you've already installed in VSC and just delete one you have issue with and install again in VSC.

I use mac. Initially Go Live was not showing on the bottom of my VSCode. I right clicked on the html file and clicked Open with Live Server. It gave me an error the folder is not open in VSCode. I just had to open the folder in VS Code and navigate to the html file. When I clicked on Open with Live Server again, it worked.

Ive found how to fix an issue. If you cant see the "Go Live" button you should open the folder your files in VS Code workplace, then it should work. Hope it would help

[dbooyah93]

Happens to me on occasion and the "go live" button comes back intermittently. The new thing i did before this happened is that i opened live share and played with the terminal. I am brand new to learning JavaScript and I don't do much but very basic things, and I do not use any other extensions besides the live share and live server.

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

[jamillaclemons]

Hello. I'm new to this. I've read a lot of the other posts and implemented some of the advice...... I'm having a problem with live server. I've deleted the javaScript file, and uninstalled live server a couple of times, and started from scratch, but when I open the file in live server and right click. I don't get the option to "inspect." I only get 3 options:

1. Reload page
2. Save page as
3. Print page

Am I doing anything wrong?

Please give me some advice. I've spent a lot of time trying to figure this out. I'd like to move forward.

[Hello-Chen]

I ran Go Live to display not found and tried to delete the plug-in folder and download it again, but it still failed. I used vscode insiders version 1.4.3. I hope it can be solved.

Yes I'm using Windows and I did exactly like you told it and it worked. Turns out the folder containing the file has to be opened .
