I have went through this link https://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/WI/Live+Edit as well as this question thread Webstorm LiveEdit for chrome not working and I still cannot get my Webstorm live edit to work.
I have the live edit plugin enabled, the auto reload setting on (300ms) and the jetbrains chrome extension installed. When I activate debug mode the project opens up fine in the browser but the page does not actively reload when I adjust the content or save the file. One thing I have noticed (and the above links recommend) is to make sure that Live Edit is clicked in the view menu dropdown but I do not have that option in regular run or debug mode.
Any idea how I can get this to work properly? If you need more information to solve this issue please let me know.
