Continued /livereload/ requests after interrupting MkDocs

[azegas]

Hello,

I have installed mkdocs package into a separate from my system virtualenv. Tried the package, generated a site, all worked as expected.

I then deleted the project folder, deleted the virtualenv, made sure mkdocs package does not exist in my global python environment.

But now every time I run a server on 8000 port locally, django for example python manage.py runserver, I get such message:

python manage.py runserver

Quit the server with CTRL-BREAK.

The server runs, django project runs, but every 2-3 secs this message appears in my terminal:

Not Found: /livereload/433396203/433396453

It is annoying... something must not have been deleted proeprly.

Can it be that installing mkdocs package, something was changed globally in my system, that now every project I run on port 8000, no matter in which python virtual environment (none of them have mkdocs installed) now throw me that liveserver message?

If I run a the same project, in the same virtualenv on port 9999 for example, liveserver message does not appear...

If I write "liveserver" in my windows search, I don't find anything, perhaps identifying that no package or folder with it exists?

Thanks for asking. Since this is a question, I'm converting it to a discussion ☺️

Looks like you kept one of your docs tab open? These /livereload requests come from a MkDocs page opened in your browser. Just close such tabs and the requests should stop.

You are right! :)

Should have been more careful to check all of my browser windows created in Windows by "Multiple desktops in Windows" feature.

After closing that browser window - I no longer get the /livereload messages.

Thank you and have a nice day!
