I am running a nodejs frontend-only website that uses lite-server. as I am trying to deploy it with git in CLI, it shows me the error:

Did not detect a bs-config.json or bs-config.js override file. Using lite-server defaults...Couldn't open a browser (if you are using BrowserSync in a headless environment, you might want to set the open option to false)

Any thoughts on this?

  • Why are you using `lite-server` in the backend? Use express to serve all the static files! See [Serving Static Files with Express](https://expressjs.com/en/resources/middleware/serve-static.html) – h-sifat Jan 01 '22 at 14:54
  • The error message exactly describes what you have to do, doesn't it? Hence, this question doesn't show any research effort. – Thomas Sablik Feb 12 '22 at 12:49

You are seeing this error because you are running your project in the headless environment and lite-server uses BrowserSync and its default behavior is to open the browser. However, It allows for configuration overrides via a local bs-config.json or bs-config.js file in your project. You can prevent the browser from opening by setting option open to false in the gulpfule.js file.

open: false
