Chrome not reloading page until mouse hovers over browser window

[jamilabreu]

On Yosemite/Chrome using the LiveReload extension, everything works fine - except that the page only reloads styles (css/scss/sass) when the mouse hovers over (literally passes above any part of) the Chrome browser window.

Came across similar thread here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mimosajs/A7Kbf6plBd0

Thoughts?

increased additionalWaitingTime value to 50 helped me

guard-livereload/js/livereload.js

Line 735 in 959cbe2

additionalWaitingTime = 5;

From this issue - livereload/livereload-extensions#26

I have tried to investigate this issue but I can't reproduce it on my mac Yosemite. Chrome is reloading fine, what's your environment?

Real issue, really breaks your rhythm. OSX 10.10.3.

@iAnton 's fix worked for me. Steps to hack/fix:

1. Finder, Goto folder..., ~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default
2. In extensions folder, find the one with version 2.1 (or your livereload version)
3. Modify source as shown in patch above

#136 should fix the problem.

I can merge #136, as long as it's confirmed that it helps (please add +1s there if it helped you!).

There should be a better fix than just increasing a timeout - but increasing a timeout is till better than people patching their JS files manually.

For speed, maybe it's better to loop over a smaller timeout - but maybe better debugging could help understand the issue.

[jibiel]

Maybe we can have an option with the default value for that. It could be passed to the guard :livereload block.

In case it helps, there's no longer a need to edit the file manually: #147
