livereload fails on S3 http web hosting

livereload fails on S3 http web hosting

I deployed the whole contents of _book to AWS S3 that static web hosting is enabled.
I this case, the following request is refused by S3 because a port 35729 is used to get the livereload.js (my guess).

Chrome browser shows a "circling icon" on the tab, while it's waiting for a response from AWS S3.

Liveload is a very useful tool when developing, but I don't need it when deploying to a server.

Any clue to disable livereload or build a book without livereload?

• HonKit version: 3.6.16

Step to reproduce

1. build a book
2. upload _book to AWS S3
3. browse it

This issue also happens when I use another web server, python in my case, to serve the contents.

Expected results

Livereload is disabled for production.

Actual results

Livereload try to work but fails.

It's look like strange.
honkit build will not livereload plugin.
honkit serve will add this plugin.

honkit/packages/honkit/src/cli/serve.ts

Lines 117 to 118 in 9937b33

	// @ts-expect-error ts-migrate(2554) FIXME: Expected 3 arguments, but got 2.
	config = Modifiers.Config.addPlugin(config, "livereload");

1. build a book

Can you use honkit build?

Thanks for your reply.
I could reproduce this by the following steps.

1. npx honkit init
2. npx honkit build
3. npx honkit serve to confirm and test
4. deploy the _book

At the step 3, livereload stored into the _book/gitbook and it may have caused the error.

So I should have done the following steps.

1. npx honkit init
2. npx honkit build
3. npx honkit serve to confirm and test
4. npx honkit build again
5. deploy the _book

I did care about plugins that I installed but didn't about one that is installed by "serve".
It might be good if FAQ has an entry for this behavior.

Anyway I can test the performance now, thanks so much!
