Brackets live preview


I am using a portable version of brackets. The live preview is not working. It shows this error message saying Google chrome wasn't found and to install it. Is there a way I can use live preview with this portable Brackets Folder on any system that has Chrome installed?

Edit: Live preview works alright when I install Brackets to the system, but it is still not working with the extracted portable folder.


Solution

  • Updating CSS in Live Preview does not work when <link> has type="text/css" so remove that from the <head>. As well, there are several conditions that must be met to satisfy the Live Preview: for example, 1 syntax error will prevent Live Preview. This is explained in detail here.
