I recently installed Yeoman and am finding that the included livereload feature (provided by grunt-watch-contrib) does not work. In fact, nothing short of restarting the Node server altogether actually allows me to see my SCSS changes in the browser. I don't even know where to begin looking in order to fix this, as whatever errors are occurring are silent ones.
What could I be doing wrong? Isn't this just supposed to work "right out of the box"?
I'm using OS X Mavericks.
