I’m trying to get grunt-browser-sync to inject any css changes into an open browser when a file is updated/changed. But for some reason, I can seem to get it to work and grunt is not giving me any errors to let me know it’s not working.
I’m currently using MAMP since it’s a WordPress based project.
Here’s my Gruntfile.js:
module.exports = function(grunt) {
// Project configuration.
grunt.initConfig({
pkg: grunt.file.readJSON('package.json'),
uglify: {
build: {
src: '_/js/libs/*.js', //input
dest: '_/js/functions.min.js' //output
}
},
sass: {
dist: {
options: {
loadPath: require('node-bourbon').includePaths,
loadPath: require('node-neat').includePaths,
style: 'compressed'
},
files: {
'style.css': 'scss/style.scss'
}
}
},
autoprefixer: {
dist: {
files: {
'style.css': 'style.css'
}
}
},
browserSync: {
dev: {
bsFiles: {
src : 'style.css'
},
options: {
watchTask: true
}
}
},
watch: {
options: {
livereload: true
},
js: {
files: ["_/js/libs/*.js"],
tasks: ["ugilify"],
},
sass: {
files: ["scss/*.scss"],
tasks: ["sass", "autoprefixer", "browserSync"],
},
php: {
files: ['*.php']
},
}
});
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-uglify');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-sass');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-watch');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-autoprefixer');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-browser-sync');
// Default task(s).
grunt.registerTask('default', ['uglify', 'sass', 'browserSync', 'watch', 'autoprefixer']);
};
and here’s the output when I save/update a file:
Running "watch" task
Waiting...
>> File "scss/global.scss" changed.
Running "sass:dist" (sass) task
File style.css created.
Running "autoprefixer:dist" (autoprefixer) task
File style.css created.
Running "browserSync:dev" (browserSync) task
Done, without errors.

But then I have to physically refresh the browser to see the changes.
I’m not sure if I am missing something within the grunt file or what.
The only version of grunt-browser-sync that works for me with this code is 1.9.1. So, un-install your current version and
