I am using the gulp-aemsync plugin to sync my css and js changes to a clientlib on an AEM instance. A have a gulp task watching the js and css that runs gulp-aemsync fine (changes are on the site when i refresh), but being a bit lazy as i am it would be nice to get live reload working so that i never have to manually refresh the page while working.
I have tried to follow both these 2 online guides:
https://adobe-consulting-services.github.io/acs-aem-tools/features/live-reload/index.html
https://www.cognifide.com/our-blogs/cq/up-and-running-with-livereload-in-adobe-aem6
Followed the steps of:
- installing Netty package on AEM instance
- installing ACS AEM tools package on the AEM instance
- installing the RemoteLiveReload chrome extension (the AEM instance is hosted on AWS)
That didn't work, so i got one of our DevOps engineers to open port 35729 (which is the default for Livereload) on the AEM instance. That still doesn't work, and when i click the chrome browser extension to sync it i get the following message:
Could not connect to LiveReload server. Please make sure that LiveReload 2.3 (or later) or another compatible server is running.
Can anyone help me figure this out as i'd really like to get it working to streamline my workflow.
Thanks
