grunt serve does not launch browser of serve on port 9000

[unknown1337]

after running

mkdir project && cd $_ yo ionic project grunt serve

I get the message done without errors, execution time,.... completed in... waiting.

But, no browser is being opened & manually serving to http://localhost:9000 does not work. (in the gruntfile, the port, specified in grunt server settings is 9000).

output:

@unknown1337 follow this https://github.com/diegonetto/generator-ionic/issues/223

@danieldocki Thanks Daniel, #223 fixed the issue; the browser gets launched and the app is being loaded. I didn't expect these problems to be related. Maybe it's a good idea to refer to this problem in the quickstart?

[unknown1337]

btw, live reload doesn't work as expected for me:

• I change a file in the app directory and save the change;
• the file change is detected by grunt, new files compiled;
• new files placed in www directory;
• ionic notices file changes in the www directory and reloads; but the reloaded app is always one change behind; so when i preform another change (add a space) and save this change, the previous change is visible.

same issue. thanks to @danieldocki. it works now. open browser and the application is up and running. but why is it on port 8100? it should be 9000 because of 'connect' config in the Gruntfile.json ...am I right?

thanks

I am encountering this issue as well and following the steps in #223 does not appear to have any affect. I'm running grunt serve on a Ubuntu 16.04 LTS platform with Node version 6.10.2 , npm version 3.10.10, grunt version 0.4.1 and grunt-concurrent version 0.5.0 (but I also tried 1.0.0 with the same results). Running 'grunt serve' opens the browser (chrome in my case), but does not pass the url to the browser on startup. If I subsequently manually navigate to the url (http://localhost:9000), all works beyond that point. Here is the grunt serve output.
