Startup page

Even if I have a html page opened in the acive editor form an other folder, "Go Live" will serve the file with the same name from workspace root.

appModel.ts (114): let rootPath = WorkSpacePath ? WorkSpacePath : documentPath;
Will WorkSpacePath ever be null?

First, Thanks a lot for the feedback.

WorkSpacePath will be Undefined if user open a single file - no workspace.

anyway, I don't got your point. Please clear me.
Live Server will open a server form Workspace root. if workspace is not available then it will start server from current active document's root.

you mentioned "an other folder". Is the folder is not sub folder of the workspace?

I got another issue in appModel.ts : if (fileExtension != "html") fileName = null;. That should be fileExtension != ".html"

Hello!
Ok, I understand. But this is still a hard restriction: why should the workspace root be the web root
as well? Mine is a subfolder of the workspace.
It is confusing anyway: the file name is from the active editor, but the folder served is totaly different. What if there is no file with the same name in the workspace root? You will get a directory listing... quite useless.
I think that you should let the user decide if he/she wants to serve the currently opened file or a specific file from the workspace - I am sure, the later will be the most used scenario.
I suggest you add a setting (like the port), where the user can specify any html file relative to the workspace root. If the setting is missing then it should fall back to serving the currently edited file (indifferent if there is a workspace or not). If the setting is pointing to an inexistent file or file is not html, then the directory listing is adequate.

Okay. I got your point. I'll definitely try to add the settings :)
