How to get Live Edit to work with Pycharm 5


When I try to use a Javascript debug configuration to use the Live Edit function of PyCharm 5 the IDE starts a browser tab, which seems like it connects to the IDE but nothing works.

There is no error either. I found no documentation of this anywhere online.


Solution

  • Support told me that you have to install an old version of the Live Edit plugin in PyCharm. What works is LiveEdit V2.0.18.143 which you can find here. So far there was no google-able information about this and I spent ours trying to figure it out. Hopefully the next person will find this here.
