I've set up an AngularJS setup to start working with Symfony2 as the backend with AngularJS as the frontend. So what I've set up is the following (having used generator-symfony as the base:
/app contains the standard Symfony2 application/grunt contains the standard AngularJS scripts (same as /app when using only AngularJS)/src contains the Symfony2 source code/vendor composer dependencies/web symfony main route (contains app.php and app_dev.php)/web/dist the distribution build for grunt (grunt build)I've pointed http://localhost/ to the /grunt directory and http://localhost/api to the /web directory, which works great, I can access both the angular application and the Symfony2 application
I've added a index.html file in my /grunt directory with some HTML, and all works fine, as I can access this and refresh it etc.
Now my problem is that the livereload feature doesn't work. I've just adjusted the Gruntfile.js from the generator-symfony I used (found below). Does anyone have any ideas what is wrong with my configuration?
(I'd love to show only the relevant bits but I've no idea where the problem resides).

Incidentally, it turned out that I had to inject the live-reload JS file, however, I was always under the impression that this was automatically appended at the end using the DOM, but I guess I was mistaken.
