I'm submitting a...

feature request. You have removed this feature "Live Server was supported for no workspace (just a single html file is opened).". I would be helpful if you support it again.
Usually, I write the small piece of code only for testing, in this case, I can test more faster.

Yep! It is dropped to support multi-root workspace. If we now enable this feature anyhow, the extension will crash unpredictably. We need to handle the edge cases.

If anyone likes to submit a PR, then it'll be nice - just have to handle edge cases by if-else-if-else block. 🙍

Thanks for the clarification! I understand the change now and it wasn't as big of a deal to adjust my workflow as I initially thought. Was just very confused that first day why wasn't opening individual files properly.

Liveserver is amazing and I can't imagine not having it. Thanks!

I am a new user for live server and want to take this extension for a spin but unable to do so because of this error.
I am using MacOS 10.14.1
VS Code: 1.29.0
Live Server: 5.1.1

How can I fix this issue while opening a single file. ie, index.html?
