`Is Apache causing issues with Grunt livereload (grunt watch) in Symfony2?`

I have successfully configured an AngularJS setup to collaborate with Symfony2 as the backend and AngularJS as the frontend. The structure I have implemented is as follows (using generator-symfony as the foundation):

  • /app houses the standard Symfony2 application
  • /grunt contains the standard AngularJS scripts (similar to /app when exclusively using AngularJS)
  • /src stores the Symfony2 source code
  • /vendor composer dependencies
  • /web serves as the main route for Symfony (includes app.php and app_dev.php)
  • /web/dist holds the distribution build for grunt (grunt build)

I have directed http://localhost/ to the /grunt directory and http://localhost/api to the /web directory, which is functioning well allowing me to access both the angular application and the Symfony2 application.

In my /grunt directory, I created an index.html file with some HTML content, and everything works smoothly as expected, including accessing and refreshing the page.

However, the livereload feature seems to be not working. I made modifications to the Gruntfile.js from the generator-symfony template I used (provided below). Any suggestions on what might be misconfigured?

(I would prefer to highlight only the relevant sections, but pinpointing the exact issue is challenging at the moment).

/**
 * Gruntfile
 * @see http://gruntjs.com/getting-started
 *
 * Plugin and task configuration for Grunt.
 *
 * Based on the yeoman webapp generator
 * @see https://github.com/yeoman/generator-webapp
 */

// Enable strict mode
'use strict';

// # Globbing
// for performance reasons we're only matching one level down:
// 'test/spec/{,*/}*.js'
// use this if you want to recursively match all subfolders:
// 'test/spec/**/*.js'

module.exports = function (grunt) {
    // Grunt configurations go here...
};

If more details are required, feel free to inquire!

Answer №1

It was a surprise to discover that I needed to manually inject the live-reload JS file. I had assumed it would be automatically added at the end of the DOM, but it seems my understanding was incorrect.

Answer №2

It's great that you were able to find a solution to the problem. I faced a similar struggle and also came up with a simple remedy. You can read about my approach here.

I created a straightforward script that met my needs perfectly as all I wanted was for the page to refresh automatically.

(function() {
  var ws = new WebSocket("ws://localhost:35729"); 
  ws.onmessage = function(msg) {
    if ((JSON.parse(msg.data)).command == "reload") {
      window.location.reload();
    }
  }; 
})();
