livereload only responding to css changes, not html

Question

I have installed livereload gem, which I'm using with a ruby middleman application. However, it's only autoloading changes to the css. If I make changes to the html files, I still have to restart the server to view the changes. Is there somehow I can make it autoload html changes?

It seems that this feature doesn't work on all versions of livereload and also depends on the browser and it's extensions. Try to also change a css file when you change the html so that the refresh occurs. Also, have you looked at https://github.com/guard/guard-livereload ? That has an example watching the change of html.

guard 'livereload' do
  watch(%r{app/views/.+\.(erb|haml|slim)})
  watch(%r{app/helpers/.+\.rb})
  watch(%r{public/.+\.(css|js|html)})
  watch(%r{config/locales/.+\.yml})
  # Rails Assets Pipeline
  watch(%r{(app|vendor)(/assets/\w+/(.+\.(css|js|html))).*}) { |m| "/assets/#{m[3]}" }
end
