I am using Rails for my API, AngularJS on the front and I am having some issues getting livereload / grunt connect proxy to work properly.
Here is the snippet from my gruntfile:
connect: {
options: {
port: 9000,
// Change this to '0.0.0.0' to access the server from outside.
hostname: 'localhost',
livereload: 35729
},
proxies: [
{
context: '/api',
host: 'localhost',
port: 3000
}
],
livereload: {
options: {
open: true,
base: [
'.tmp',
'<%= yeoman.app %>'
],
middleware: function (connect, options) {
var middlewares = [];
var directory = options.directory || options.base[options.base.length - 1];
// enable Angular's HTML5 mode
middlewares.push(modRewrite(['!\\.html|\\.js|\\.svg|\\.css|\\.png$ /index.html [L]']));
if (!Array.isArray(options.base)) {
options.base = [options.base];
}
options.base.forEach(function(base) {
// Serve static files.
middlewares.push(connect.static(base));
});
// Make directory browse-able.
middlewares.push(connect.directory(directory));
return middlewares;
}
}
},
test: {
options: {
port: 9001,
base: [
'.tmp',
'test',
'<%= yeoman.app %>'
]
}
},
dist: {
options: {
base: '<%= yeoman.dist %>'
}
}
}
If I 'grunt build' everything works perfectly - off localhost:3000
However if I 'grunt serve' it opens a window through 127.0.0.1:9000
and I get 404 to all my API calls.
Also under serve it is mangling my background images from a CSS file I get this warning:
Resource interpreted as Image but transferred with MIME type text/html: "http://127.0.0.1:9000/images/RBP_BG.jpg"
I haven't done this before - so chances are I am doing it all wrong.
This is an old post, but please make sure that you actually initialize the proxy in the grunt serve task by calling
configureProxies
before livereload.Should work fine afterwards.
I don't like too much code in your
connect.livereload.middleware
configuration.Is that all necessary ?
Take a look at this commit -
chore(yeoman-gruntfile-update): configured grunt-connect-proxy
in some of my projects.generator-angular
was in v.0.6.0 when generating the projectconnect.livereload.middleware
configuration was based on: https://stackoverflow.com/a/19403176/1432478I have a similar problem with you but I have no use yeoman.
My solution is to add the task 'configureProxies'.
this is my tasks:
and,'connect:livereload','configureProxies'——After my test, the order of these two tasks will not affect the results.
