I am using windows and xampp, wordpress location is localhost/wp/ but can't use sync

[aboutjquery]

I try to modify

 "scripts": {
 "sync": "browser-sync start -p 'localhost/wp' --files '**/*.php' 'build/*.js' 'build/*.css'",

But after npm run sync, the URL will jump to http://localhost/%27localhost/wp%27
Weird, what did I do wrong? Thanks

Hi @aboutjquery

On Windows, you need to use the slash to escape and use double quotes, like this: \"localhost/wp\"

Your code will look like this:
"sync": "browser-sync start -p \"localhost/wp\" --files '**/*.php' 'build/*.js' 'build/*.css'",

Don't know about XAMP, but when using WampServer not only 'localhost/wp', the script needs to be adjusted like this:

"sync": "browser-sync start --proxy \"localhost/test\" --open external --files \"**/*.php\" \"build/*.js\" \"build/*.css\""

...in order for the browsersync to refresh the page after changes and saving those changes (ctrl+s)
