Browsersync doesn't set the right local url

[omargourari]

Here's an issue (already posted on http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28500695/browsersync-doesnt-set-the-right-local-url) regarding the local url configurations option.

As described in the so question I'm working on a wp theme project using the starter theme roots.

My main concern is about the possibility to set the local url based on the url created by Mamp pro.
I, basically, don't do any change in the hosts file but I just set up a local development website through Mamp and the resulting url is http://mywebsite:8888.

Now, setting the port number as 8888 give me, correctly, the following url http://localhost:8888 but, even if I'm able to see the changes and the page keep refreshing alongside my changes, I'd like to have the local url set as http://mywebsite:8888.

Any similar concern?

Thank you

The only way to do this would be manually injecting the snippet into your site's footer.

run BrowserSync with neither server or proxy options and you'll be presented with a snippet that you can paste into your website.

Pasting the snippet as-is didn't work for me, and no amount of modification works for me either. Is there something I'm missing? Here's the snippet I was given:

<script type='text/javascript' id="__bs_script__">//<![CDATA[
document.write("<script async src='http://HOST:3000/browser-sync/browser-sync-client.2.8.2.js'><\/script>".replace("HOST", location.hostname));
//]]></script>

and here's another one I tried:

<script type='text/javascript' id="__bs_script__">//<![CDATA[
document.write("<script async src='http://HOST:PORT/browser-sync/browser-sync-client.2.8.2.js'><\/script>".replace("HOST", location.hostname).replace(/PORT/g, location.port));
//]]></script>

I'm using BrowserSync with a Gruntfile and MAMP PRO. Please advise.

ADDENDUM: When I go to localhost:3000 in my browser, I get Cannot GET /.

Nevermind. I don't think me and OP are experiencing the same problem, so this fix won't work for me.
