I am developing a Flask site and using Live Server plugin.
Examples that I have seen show the browser opening within VSCode, when 'Open with Live Server' is selected on an HTML file.
When I use it, all works well except that the localhost comes up in a separated, rather that attached browser (I use Firefox).
I am working on Linux Mint.
I have been unsuccessful in figuring out how to change this.
If you have experience with this, please share.
Thanks in advance.
Buran,
Thanks for responding.
I never knew there were more that one!
The one I have installed is Ritwick Dey.
That's might have been my problem, but it appears that I lucked out.
This is the one where the browser should appear within VSCode.
I am taking a video course that I purchased from Packt (Bootstrap4FromScratchVideo), which asked to install Live server, and assuming (which I never should do), there was only one, installed Dey's.
Now that I am looking at the proper documentation, I see here:
https://github.com/ritwickdey/vscode-liv...ettings.md a section on the browser.
Thanks for the lift, I was stumbling.
I also thought it's that one (most installs, etc.)
It looks the only option that MAY be related is liveServer.settings.NoBrowser
Not sure if it do what you want - as I said for that extension I didn't see example open in the VSCode. However some of the others do have such example I think. Would be interesting to see what you found at the end.
The video course that I am taking has an example of the browser within VSCode, but I am thinking that it was created on a windows machine.
I'll try playing with the NoBrowser setting and report my results.
Even If I can't get it to work this way, it's not the end of the world.
I just live having all of my tools in one box.
i tried setting:
"liveServer.settings.NoBrowser": False,
and didn't notice anything New.
I noticed that the default is False, so no difference here.
I looked closer at the screen shown in my tutorial, and I now think that they were two separate windows side by side, and not an internal VSCode browser.
I wanted it to be part of VSCode, but no, and I can (have no choice, really) live with separate windows.
This is still a pretty cool plugin, as changes show on in the browser immediately as they are changed in code.
That's a big time saver when trying different class values for example.
