LiveReload over HTTPS on node JS will not work

Question

It had been working perfectly until I had to change to https. Here is my configuration for livereload:

const express = require("express");
const app = express();
const path = require('path');
const livereload = require('livereload')
const connectLiveReload = require('connect-livereload')


const liveReloadServer = livereload.createServer();
liveReloadServer.watch(publicDirectory)
liveReloadServer.server.once("connection",()=>{
    setTimeout(() => {
        liveReloadServer.refresh("/");
    }, 200);
})

app.use(connectLiveReload());

The error it started displaying is:

And of course, it's not picking up on changes and reloading.

Answer 1

From the npm page of the package livereload here

Server API

The createServer() method accepts two arguments.

The first are some configuration options, passed as a JavaScript object:

• https is an optional object of options to be passed to https.createServer (if not provided, http.createServer is used instead)

You can check the NodeJS document about https.createServer here

From that, I think the configuration of liveReloadServer will be something like this, you use your SSL certificate and key :

const liveReloadServer = livereload.createServer({
    https : {
        key: fs.readFileSync('test/fixtures/keys/agent2-key.pem'),
        cert: fs.readFileSync('test/fixtures/keys/agent2-cert.pem')
    }
});
