Same problem here... Reload/Stream functions suddenly stopped work.

Same issue here, after updating to v2.24.0

I began to see this error message after upgrading npm to v6.0.0; even with browsersync v2.18.15

vinceshere · 2018-04-30T01:34:06Z

But @Carlosdvp , if you check the Git history it was removed in one of the last commits:

https://github.com/BrowserSync/browser-sync/tree/master/client/dist

Carlosdvp · 2018-04-30T01:48:06Z

You are right @vinceshere I was looking through the node_modules for previous projects that I had been using browsersync with, and they were working fine because the contents for that folder were intact. The cause as far as I can tell is that the contents for the directory you mention are now gone.

To correct my previous comment: It has nothing to do with npm v6.0.0, tested old installs of browser-sync with npm v6 and they work fine

browser-sync/client/dist contents are missing in new installs of browser-sync, that is the cause for this error message. I just copied the missing files into the empty folder and now it's working fine

inspector71 · 2018-04-30T03:40:12Z

Please change this issue's title to something like:

"index.min.js is missing from the latest version"

Not trying to be a grammar nasty but at least it would be easier to understand if it were "does not" instead of "don't".

3cp · 2018-04-30T04:36:25Z

@dhffdh pin your version to the old one "browser-sync": "2.23.7",.

dhffdh · 2018-04-30T04:41:00Z

@huochunpeng THANK YOU =)

shakyShane · 2018-04-30T05:25:21Z

Thanks all for the fast feedback :)

I had removed the compiled assets from the repo, with the aim of rebuilding them only when publishing - but I used an incorrect NPM lifecycle hook - oops!

It's fixed now though browser-sync@2.24.1

❤️

3cp · 2018-04-30T05:32:37Z

@shakyShane I like the removal in general.

FYI, but it could create some trouble for some users (like contributors) who directly installs the package from git repo, if they use yarn or pnpm.

yarnpkg/yarn#5235
pnpm/pnpm#855

wasong · 2022-05-19T16:15:11Z

@shakyShane Hi, I think this issue might be revived again from the latest release v2.27.10. I ras running v2.27.9 in my projects and started to get this error recently.

martinpring · 2022-05-25T13:29:15Z

@shakyShane Same for me. I started to see this problem (missing index.min.js) when upgrading to v2.27.10.

gerbsen · 2022-06-17T09:08:33Z

Same here in my new jHipster project with "browser-sync": "2.27.9",

krmahadevan · 2022-06-20T03:35:03Z

I also experienced the same issue when using JHipster to create a new standalone app using browser-sync version 2.27.9. For now I have went back to pinning to an older version in the package.jsonviz., "browser-sync": "2.24.1"

thienleminh1982 · 2022-06-23T19:35:10Z

Hello guys,

I ran into the exactly same problem when using JHipster as well, when in package.json : "browser-sync": "2.27.9", and when run npm install first time (no node_modules exists), it will generate package-lock.json with this dependency of browser-sync-client

"browser-sync-client": {
"version": "2.27.10",
"resolved": "https://registry.npmjs.org/browser-sync-client/-/browser-sync-client-2.27.10.tgz",
"integrity": "sha512-KCFKA1YDj6cNul0VsA28apohtBsdk5Wv8T82ClOZPZMZWxPj4Ny5AUbrj9UlAb/k6pdxE5HABrWDhP9+cjt4HQ==",

"etag": "1.8.1",
"fresh": "0.5.2",
"mitt": "^1.1.3",
"rxjs": "^5.5.6",
"typescript": "^4.6.2"
},

And here comes the problem with missing index.min.js in browser-sync-client:2.27.10 . You guys can double check by download gz file from: https://registry.npmjs.org/browser-sync-client/-/browser-sync-client-2.27.10.tgz and see the problem. This is the full error log I got:

Note that with version browser-sync-client:2.27.9 , it was OK, no missing index.min.js , the package-lock.json should be like this:

"browser-sync-client": {
"version": "2.27.9",
"resolved": "https://registry.npmjs.org/browser-sync-client/-/browser-sync-client-2.27.9.tgz",
"integrity": "sha512-FHW8kydp7FXo6jnX3gXJCpHAHtWNLK0nx839nnK+boMfMI1n4KZd0+DmTxHBsHsF3OHud4V4jwoN8U5HExMIdQ==",
"dev": true,
"requires": {
"etag": "1.8.1",
"fresh": "0.5.2",
"mitt": "^1.1.3",
"rxjs": "^5.5.6"
},

How I quick fixed the problem: just same as @krmahadevan did, I explicitly put in my package.json the dependency: "browser-sync-client": "2.27.9". I removed the node_modules folder, and I run the npm install again. Now the package-lock.json will have the browser-sync-client:2.2.7.9 again, and no more error in console :).
I believe the best fix must be to fix the release distribution of browser-sync-client-2.27.10.tgz itself.

Malak88 · 2022-08-12T15:55:39Z

In jhipster, instead of browser-sync-client@2.27.10 change it to browser-sync-client@2.27.9 by

Delete package-lock.json
install npm i browser-sync-client@2.27.9
npm install
check package.json to verify the update of browser-sync-client then try ./mvnw or npm start

djphan · 2022-08-23T20:35:47Z

I ran into this issue testing out a browser sync update. Since this issue was closed back 2018 and fixed does it make sense to reopen this thread or make a new one since a recent update in client caused the same issue?

Currently my workaround is to keep my pinned package.lock file for browser sync to the older version.

mimkorn · 2023-02-01T13:20:22Z

Same issue still at 2.26.13

However, it seems to be working fine with yarn, which is strange!
