The first pull-request so wrong. Sorry.

hi!!
i'm trying to make your package work, windows7, sulbime text 2 portable version, but when i do my ctrl+shift+r, nothing happens

have i got to have only one tab on my browser?
how can i make open a new window, or directly open the browser?
thx for answers and sorry for noob questions...

Hi
Thanks for the plugin. It works very well.
I just want to know if there is a way to stay in sublime window after refreshing the browser. Or maybe switching to sublime window again after the browser is refreshed.

Thanks

Hi,

I just downloaded Browser Refresh on Sublime Text 2 and it's not working when I have a doc open in Chrome. When I press command+shift+r it saves the file but does not switch to Chrome and refresh. Am using Chrome version 38.

I tried on Safari, however, and it worked fine. Any suggestions?

There seems to be a bug where Safari (on a Mac) starts up when it's not running on refresh. The currently running browser (in my case Firefox Developer Edition) is refreshing after launching Safari.
For now, as a temporary workaround, I commented out Safari, since I don't use that for testing.

In BrowserRefresh.py I commented out:

        elif browser_name == 'all':
            refresher.chrome()
           # refresher.safari()
            refresher.firefox()
            refresher.opera()

Is saw that a delay parameter was added for compiled scripts. So that you can say... delay 2 seconds before browser-refresh.

Is there a way to let this plugin identify the file-type you refresh/saving, so that you can have different delays for special file-types?

I thought of something like:

.* = 0.5sec <- global
.js = 1sec
.sass, .scss, .less = 2sec

I'm using emmet and it has a keybinding conflict with BrowserRefresh in Preferences > Key Bindings - User. I already tried changing the keybinding into "command+shift+x" but FindKeyConflict still show me "command+shift+r".

Hi there,

When I go to preferences > package settings > browser refresh > key bindings (default), I get an empty file (but it's not as notepad ++ indicates).

Same when I open from appdata folder directly.

So basically, the plugin does nothing at all :)

Seems to be the only plugin with that problem, any ideas ?

Thanks !

Could it focus back on Sublime after Firefox reload?

I can't get this plugin to work on OSX 10.8 DP2.
Cmd+Shift+R, and nothing happens.

I tried installing the package both via Package Control and by cloning the repo—same result.
I get no errors in OSX Console, and restarting ST2 or Chrome doesn't help.

In order to keep Win/Linux support I need to find maintainers that are willing to test and fix bugs on those platforms. Currently I'm only using this package on Mac and don't have the time to support other platforms. Please leave a comment if you are interested.

OS X 10.8.5, ST2
I hit ⌘+Shift+R and nothing happens in the browser (Chrome/FF/Safari) - but first of all the file in ST is not saved (I have the disc instead of the [x] sign in the file tab).

What can I do to investigate further?

doesn't refresh Firefox 36.0.4 on osx yosemite 10.10.2.
opens the same as cmd-r in st3

Why isn't this glorious extension supported in the linux master race?

Not working. I use Mac OS Lion, Sublime 2, and I've tested several times with Chrome, Canary and Safari without success.

Hi,
I was not sure where to share this, but not really an issue unless you have both plugin. I guess you can always just change one of the key bindings, but thought I'd let you know.

Maybe command+shift+c ?

Thanks,

Hello, first of all, thanks for this plugin.

Steps

Create user settings with:

[
    {
        "keys": ["command+shift+r"], "command": "browser_refresh", "args": {
            "auto_save": true,
            "delay": 0.0,
            "activate_browser": false,
            "browser_name" : "Google Chrome"
        }
    }
]

Expected result

Google chrome refreshes, Sublime Text stays active.

Real result

Nothing happens (visible), but the refresh fails. Output from console:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./sublime_plugin.py", line 356, in run_
  File "./BrowserRefresh.py", line 67, in run
    refresher.chrome()
  File "--snip--/mac/__init__.py", line 18, in chrome
    """.format(activate=self.activate)
AttributeError: MacBrowserRefresh instance has no attribute 'activate'

Thank you

It will be awesome if all of us can make a custom configuration under the Preferences.sublime-settings file

Hi,

When I go to key bindings (default) , "keys" is ["command+shift+r"].
By any chance, "keys" is ["super+shift+r"], isn't it?

OSX:10.8.5
ST:2.0.1

After hiting cmd+shift+r, not only refreshes opened browsers, but opens closed safari as well even if it is closed with cmd+q
Config:

"keys": ["command+shift+r"], "command": "browser_refresh", "args": {
            "auto_save": true,
            "delay": 0.0,
            "activate_browser": false,
            "browser_name" : "all"
        }

Sublime Text 2

After installing this package into Sublime 2.0.2 (build 2221 Mac OS 10.7.5) via PackageControl, everytime I use the keystroke CMD-Shift-R nothing happens. Neither the file is saved nor the browser is refreshed. The console shows the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./sublime_plugin.py", line 356, in run_
TypeError: run() got an unexpected keyword argument 'activate_browser'

This error don't occur under Sublime 3 installed the BrowserRefresh plugin the same way via PackageControl.

But as I remember me correctly, this plugin worked well with Sublime 2 several months ago...

Kind regards
Dominik

Just installed the plug-in via package control. After hitting command + shift = r nothing happens, the page (tab) doesn't reload. Didn't get any errors during installation.

In ST2, if you run the browser_refresh command with "auto_save": true, and you have "trim_trailing_white_space_on_save": true in your preferences, then the following occurs in this order:

1. The document saves
2. The browser refreshes
3. Trailing whitespace is trimmed

Because the trimming occurs after the save, the document is now in an unsaved state. It's a nitpick, but is it possible to modify the plugin so that whitespace trimming occurs before the save, as it does when I hit "Save"?

OS: Windows 8
ST Version: 3059

Behaviour: On pressing ctrl+shift+r, current file is saved, but browser does not refresh. Observe the following error in console.

TypeError: 'float' object cannot be interpreted as an integer
Writing file /C/Users/Kimberley/Dropbox/soclogwip/TheFour/Assets/email/email.html with encoding UTF-8 with BOM (atomic)

I really only want this to reload the active tab if it meets certain criteria. Basically I would like to have a list of urls that it should reload.

I was able to implement this by changing the mac chrome applescript command to:

reload (every tab of winref whose URL contains (contents of "google.com"))

I'm using the browser-refresh plugin in concert with the Sublime SFTP plugin.

Ideally anytime I use the browser refresh key binding my file would save, which triggers SFTP to upload it, then the delay I have set in my preferences would be carried out, to give the upload time to finish, then the browser refreshes.

Presently the save appears to take place after the delay and my browser often beats the upload so I have to either re-reload or save, then refresh.

Obviously saving manually before refreshing isn't a huge deal, and I love the plugin. Thanks for any consideration!

I'm running Sublime Text stable build 3065 on a Mac with the latest stable OS. My trusty Browser Refresh keyboard shortcut stopped working recently, instead generating this error in the console:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Applications/Sublime Text.app/Contents/MacOS/sublime_plugin.py", line 543, in run_
    return self.run(edit, **args)

zipimport.ZipImportError: bad local file header in /Users/trevor/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Installed Packages/Browser Refresh.sublime-package

I tried removing the Package Control-installed package and installing the latest master instead. That yielded a more specific error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Applications/Sublime Text.app/Contents/MacOS/sublime_plugin.py", line 543, in run_

Any idea why this error is occurring?

Hello!

Using the shortcut saves the file but does not activate nor refresh the browser.
OS X Mavericks,
Sublime Text 2.0.2 (tried on 3 also, same result)
Google Chrome 30.0.1599.101

Thanks for your great work!

First, thanks for this great plugin!

Is it possible to add support for Maxthon Cloud Browser? Maxthon used to be really bad when it was very similar to IE, but it has been under heavy developpement and now features many useful things, a better engine, while being fast, reliable and multi-platform. It's my main browser and I'd like to use it with BrowserRefresh-Sublime.

A workaround would be to allow users to set the path of the browser application they want to refresh, instead of the name of the browser, right?

In Firefox 19.0, reload does not work.

While the browser gets activated, the page is not reloaded.

I am using the "Chain of Command" Sublime package (https://sublime.wbond.net/packages/Chain%20of%20Command) to bind a chain of commands to a hotkey. When adding "browser_refresh" to my chain, it works great, although "activate_browser" is always true. Could we have "activate_browser_after_refresh" param in user prefs, so that I could set default "activate_browser" behaviour to false?

I'm running Sublime Text 3 build 3059 on OS X 10.9.1, and installed Browser Refresh 0.3.0 via Package Control. At some point within the last week, my trusty Browser Refresh keyboard shortcut stopped refreshing my browser. If I have auto_save enabled, the current file will save, but the actual part where the browser refreshes does not occur, regardless of browser_name. Also, I get this error in the ST console:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Applications/Sublime Text.app/Contents/MacOS/sublime_plugin.py", line 543, in run_
    return self.run(edit, **args)
  File "BrowserRefresh in /Users/trevor/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Installed Packages/Browser Refresh.sublime-package", line 34, in run
zipimport.ZipImportError: bad local file header in /Users/trevor/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Installed Packages/Browser Refresh.sublime-package

I've tries reinstalling the package with Package Control. I've also tried manually installing it by cloning the repo, in which case the traceback changes slightly:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Applications/Sublime Text.app/Contents/MacOS/sublime_plugin.py", line 543, in run_
    return self.run(edit, **args)
  File "/Users/trevor/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Packages/Browser Refresh/BrowserRefresh.py", line 34, in run

  File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1525, in _find_and_load_unlocked
OSError: zipimport: can not open file /Users/trevor/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Installed Packages/Browser Refresh.sublime-package

Checking out an older Browser Refresh commit does not help. Something else must have changed, but I can't think of anything in my setup that could have affected it. Any ideas?

I press ctrl+shift+r the file get saved but browser doesn't refresh.

{
"keys": ["ctrl+shift+r"], "command": "browser_refresh", "args": {
"auto_save": true,
"delay": 0.5,
"activate_browser": false,
"browser_name" : "all"
}
}

This is what I get in the console :

Any plans to support Linux distros?

In Sublime Text 3 (3066), every time I initiate key command ["super+shift+r"], the Goto Symbol search box appears. I have tried different key combinations, but it always appears. Key command for Goto Symbol is set to default.

No response after pressing Ctrl+Shift+r, do I need to do something more?

My Configuration Here,

[
{
"keys": ["command+shift+r"], "command": "browser_refresh", "args": {
"auto_save": true,
"delay": 0.0,
"activate_browser": true,
"browser_name" : "Google Chrome"
}
}
]

Thank you

Installed the plugin, do the hot key, nothing happens.

Mac console logs show the following errors when I try:

com.sublimetext.2[37801]     57:60:
com.sublimetext.2[37801]     syntax error: Expected end of line but found property. (-2741)

I installed by cloning repo into my Packages dir. Any ideas?

Are there any plans to add support for Firefox Developer Edition?

Thanks,
Alex

I get this error when I execute the binding:

Using Sublime Text 3 build 3083 on Win 64 bits.

The error is thrown when trying to refresh Mozilla Firefox

There is no refresh in OS X 10.6.8 with the current Chrome 29. File have been saved and opened successfully with "Open in browser". Cmd-Shift-r does absolutely nothing.
Restarted Sublime Text 2.0.2 build 2221 as well as Chrome. Didn't help.

When I start Sublime Text 3 3059 on OSX 10.9.1 I get the following message in the console:

win/pywinauto/unittests/test_SendKeys.py in /Users/jasper/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Installed Packages/Browser Refresh.sublime-package is not utf-8 encoded, unable to load plugin

Looks like it's including a Windows related thing.

The plugin works fine though, it just shows that message.

In the meantime, I've added to BrowserRefresh.py:

line 2:
import time

and

[new] line 10:
time.sleep(1.5)

That gives it an extra 1.5 secs to let css file compile. I'm sure there is a better way, but I needed a quick fix because this package is too good to pass up. :) Nice work.

This doesn't seem to work for me. I get this stacktrace on the console:

I was using BrowserRefresh v1.4.0

I'm in Windows 7, attempting with Firefox 35.0.1 (although it doesn't look like it got to the browser). Using SublimeText 3 build 3065.

Please add support for Yandex.browser

Very glad you made this plugin, thanks, but...

Steps

Hit ctrl+shift+r.

Expected

Active tab of most recent browser window refreshes.
Focus stays on sublime or switches to most recent browser window.

Outcome

Active tab of ALL non-minimized (not sure about minimized) browser windows refreshes.
Each non-minized browser window is made active in turn as the refresh initiates.

Attempted

Googling ;)
Setting the activate_browser to false in Default (Windows).sublime-keymap.
Setting browser_name to "Google Chrome" in Default (Windows).sublime-keymap.

Workaround

Minimizing all windows except the one I want to reload. Not so convenient since I have the local template I'm converting in another window.

Additional

ST2 64 bit Build 2217 on Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.
Default (Windows).sublime-keymap contents:

[
    {
        "keys": ["ctrl+shift+r"], "command": "browser_refresh", "args": {
            "auto_save": true,
            "delay": 0.5,
            "activate_browser": false,
            "browser_name" : "Google Chrome"
        }
    }
]

Thanks!

There is no refresh in Windows 8.1 with Chrome 40.0.2214.94 m. File have been saved and opened successfully with "Open in browser". Cmd-Shift-r saved current file, but there is no refresh in browser.
Restarted Sublime Text 2.0.2 build 2221 as well as Chrome. Didn't help.

When coding, I always open the console in a new window, meaning that I have two Chrome windows. Sometime I have to use the Inspect Element function while developing , then switch to ST2, make a change and hit cmd+shift+r , but since the last thing that I did was using the console, it refresh the console, and not the active tab in the other chrome window (the one that has pages).

I understand why this happens, but maybe there's a way to bypass this and use the other window. I'm open to discuss about some solutions if you want. Or maybe you already know that and already know how you'll fix it? ;)

Thanks for the plugin btw, works great.

in st3

The hotkeys defined in default config still work when there is a user config with different hotkeys defined.

can't override ctrl+shift+r ( which breaks find symbol in project hotkey )

This plugin rules! Works like a dream on my Mac at home.

At work, I'm on Win7 64-bit, and after installing/re-installing the plugin, I have no Browser Refresh preference options available for tweaking the 'Preferences' menu.

I'm trying to switch the browser to 'Firefox', and activate_browser to false.

When I go to Preferences > Package Settings > Browser Refresh, my only options are:

• Key Bindings - Default
• Key Bindings - User

I have no 'Settings' options for adding my desired prefs - putting them within the key binding in either of these places has no effect.
