Netlify Dev and Middleman

Support
1

Hi there! Anyone knows how to pass the “–live” option in the to Netlify Dev when using middleman as the site generator?
this is my config file:
‘[dev]
command = “bundle exec middleman” # Command to start your dev server
port = 4567 # Port that the dev server will be listening on
publish = “build” # If you use a _redirect file, provide the path to your static content folder’

but when I run ‘netlify dev --live’ the option is passed to middleman and not to netlify dev.
What am I getting wrong?

Thanks!

i dont understand this bug at all tbh. it shouldnt happen, i dont think. if you’re familiar with oclif, youre welcome to check out the source: netlify-dev-plugin/index.js at master · netlify/netlify-dev-plugin · GitHub

however i’m not at all familiar with middleman and the ruby ecosystem so i’m gonna need some help here.

EDIT: ahh - one clue is we have no detector for middleman: netlify-dev-plugin/src/detectors at master · netlify/netlify-dev-plugin · GitHub so you’re just running the simple static server. therefore --live is being passed to your command, which is middleman. we should probably… not do that

Would love a detector for middleman, more than willing to invest some time in testing etc if that’s needed.
