Live edit controls aren't showing.

[MarcoCaspers]

Today I installed mkdocs and this plugin, however simple in nature, it didn't work for me.
I did some digging around and i found that while all seemed to be working fine the initializate function in the live-edit.js file was failing.
The problem is that this line:

let article = document.querySelector('article'); returns nothing.

I tested this by adding an else clause: if (article) { ... } else { alert("we got here."); }

mkdocs in version 1.6.1 apparently doesn't render that article element anymore.
For me i was able to fix this by changing the article line in the live-edit.js file into this:

let article = document.querySelector('[itemprop="articleBody"]');

With this in place it was properly showing the live edit control bar.

Just so you know this was with both plain vanilla mkdocs theme, as well as with the readthedocs theme. I do not know if that is of any consequence for the outcome.

Just for reference, this is how my mkdocs.yml file looks like:

site_name: "My technical documentation doodles"
nav:
  - Home: index.md
  - Development: development.md
  - Cli tools: cli.md
  - Security: security.md
  - Testing: testing.md
  - How to: howtos.md
  - Troubleshooting: troubleshooting.md
  - License: license.md
