Andrew Grieve commented on CB-6564: ----------------------------------- I do understand the confusion, but I don't know how to go about fixing this. The intention is that serve be used by setting your config.xml start page to your server, not by loading the page up in a desktop browser. Desktop browser is what cordova-browser is supposed to be about. Maybe we should warn based on user-agent? > `cordova serve` should report that it is unsupported > ---------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CB-6564 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-6564 > Project: Apache Cordova > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: CLI > Reporter: Shazron Abdullah > > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-5475?focusedCommentId=13982020&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-13982020 > See CB-5475 > The docs say it should work, and users will trust the CLI documentation that > they can "cordova serve" and test with Android. This is especially > problematic as it works fine with iOS. If there is not a fix planned for > this, then the CLI should clearly warn folks (especially since the bug causes > Chrome to lock up pretty fiercely) and I'd even suggest that the code behind > serve specifically block a call to /adroid/www. Or even better, return a > simple static message saying it is not supported. > Basically my problem is that users have no way of knowing this isn't working, > and until a proper fix/alternative exists, we should be more proactive about > letting the user know -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
