Browser sync scroll not working across browsers



I have been trying to solve this issue with broswersync for couple of days. Any help in this will be highly appreciated.



My Env:



I am on windows and my server in Ubuntu in a vagrant box. I have port forwarding on, and use port 3000 to map to port 3000 on my vagrant.
So the URL I use from the host machine is http://localhost:3000/index.html, and if from outside, then http://MY_IP_ADDRESS:3000/index.html



Description:



I have CSS injection, reload, form sync, clicks, working across all browsers and devices.
What does not work is the sync scroll and below are the scenarios.



My Gulp:



I work from windows, but my server is on vagrant/ubuntu.
Here is my Gulp config for browser sync and watch.


// Static server
gulp.task('browser-sync', function ()
browserSync(
server:
baseDir: "www"
,
ghostMode:
scroll: true

);
);
// Static Server + watching scss/html files
gulp.task('serve', ['scss'], function ()

browserSync(
server: "./www"
);
gulp.watch(paths.scss, ['scss',browserSync.reload]);
gulp.watch(paths.html, ['html',browserSync.reload]);
gulp.watch(paths.js, ['js',browserSync.reload]);
//gulp.watch("*.html").on('change', reload);
);



Thanks for your help in advance..

I recently ran into this problem as well. I found out that my problem was not having a html5 doctype.



Do you have an html5 doctype on your page? If not, try adding one.



<!DOCTYPE html>


<!DOCTYPE html>





Hi mate, I did have it, but recently updated browser-sync again, and it all worked like magic... Not sure why it occurred. But thanks a lot again mate for the reply.

I would add you 100 upvotes if I could. As a newbie that is starting with these kind of tools, things like that might seem obvious for some, when they really are not for people like me. Thank you so much.

I stumbled into this issue as well. When I access the URL at http://localhost:3000 in my machine and http://MY_LOCAL_IP:3000 from my device, the sync wont work. Not only scroll, but clicks and from actions as well. I've tried to change the settings from http://localhost:3001 (BS UI, a nice addition IMO) but it still won't work.



Here's my BS task:


gulp.task('browser-sync', ['default'], function()
browserSync(
server:
baseDir: './app'

);
);



Then I tried to access http://MY_LOCAL_IP:3000 both from my machine and my device, and it worked as expected. Hope this helps ;)





Hi @Aris, thanks a lot for the answer. I tried that, but works only for chrome on desktop. Does not work for chrome in mobile mode or multiple devices. The click, forms sync etc works except the scroll...

Really? I've tried from my 2 devices (Android/Chrome, WinPhone/IE) and it works as expected. Edit: I don't use ghostMode in my BS config. After using ghostMode scroll won't work. Try to disable it

I tried removing ghostmode, with no result.. WHich version of browsersync are you using?

Hmm strange. I use 2.6.4 too, but I'm not using vagrant.

I've just encountered this issue myself. Drew's answer about a missing HTML5 doctype causing the problem led me to look at my own doctype.



My doctype was there, but I had a class on the HTML tag. Removing this class restored scroll synchronisation for me. Adding the class back broke sync.



It's worth mentioning that this issue seems to occur only when a class is added to the HTML tag manually. Any classes added via DOM manipulation (using Modernizr for example) do not break scroll sync.



Running BrowserSync version 2.13.0 which is the latest version at this point in time.

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Firebase Auth - with Email and Password - Check user already registered I want to check when a user attempts to signup with createUserWithEmailAndPassword() in Firebase user Authentication method, this user is already registered with my app. createUserWithEmailAndPassword() 8 Answers 8 To detect whether a user with that email address already exists, you can detect when the call to createUserWithEmailAndPassword () fails with auth/email-already-in-use . I see that @Srinivasan just posted an answer for this. createUserWithEmailAndPassword () auth/email-already-in-use Alternatively, you can detect that an email address is already used by calling fetchSignInMethodsForEmail() (previous called fetchProvidersForEmail() ). fetchSignInMethodsForEmail() fetchProvidersForEmail() When the user trying to create an user with same email address, the task response will be "Response: The email address is already in use by another account." mFirebas

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Dynamically update html content plain JS So I have a script bound in my index.html, which literally has to fetch an array of jsons from an api, then dynamically update my page when get response. But as a result I'm getting an as the only update of my page. here is my script fetch(url) .then((resp) => resp.json()) .then((resp) => resp.results.forEach(item => fetch(item.url) .then((response)=> response.json()) .then((response) => pokeArr.push(response)) .catch(console.log) ) ).catch(console.log) const filler = () => if(!pokeArr) return 0 pokeArr.map((i,j)=> return `<tr>$i.name</tr>` ) const pokeindex = () => document.getElementById('a').appendChild(document.createElement(filler())) pokeindex() When I'm consoling it, I can see in the console all the responses I get, so I'm at least doing the fetching part right. What's parberakan ? What's pokeArr ? – T.J. Crowder Aug 8 at 12

How to determine optimal route across keyboard

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP How to determine optimal route across keyboard I'm trying to automate the typing process in a video game. Players are given an on-screen QWERTY keyboard layout that they can navigate with the control stick (up, down, left, right) in order to select a letter to type. I was wondering if there was a module for Python (or some other resource I could explore) that would help my program find a path across the keyboard as it types each letter in a given message. In other words, if the first letter typed was "A" and the next letter was "B", the module would know that the program should move 1 space down on the keyboard and 4 spaces to the right. Currently, I have the program resetting to the "G" key after each letter is typed (allowing me to use fixed-directions as the program parses each character in the desired message). As you can imagine, this is quite inefficient and defeats the purpose of automating the typing in the fir
