Node server not started from Neovim

[RomainEndelin]

I've been trying browserlink with Vim, and it works great: the node server just starts after the first save, as expected.
But when using Neovim (with python 2.7 support), the server doesn't start on its own. Then, if I run node browserlink.js manually from another terminal, everything works fine again.

Thanks.

PS. This issue is actually an accurate version of #43, where I had totally misunderstood the problem.

What OS are you running?

[RomainEndelin]

I'm on ArchLinux.
Oh, and by the way, my Neovim version is v0.1.2-324.

Running into the same issue, using Neovim 0.1.3 on Ubuntu trusty.

Can confirm same issue here. Arch Linux, neovim 0.1.4

Same issue on Ubuntu trusty, neovim 0.1.5-dev.

I'm also having this issue, OS X El Capitan (10.11.5), NeoVim 0.1.4

Same issue, Gentoo Linux, NeoVim 0.1.4

I guess it's related to neovim/neovim#1496

EDIT: Does work on Arch and vim 8.0.

I just thought browserlink also starts a webserver (like some vim markdown preview plugins do).

It's worth noting that

1. it does not work on the file system (file:///home/user/test.html) because JS and Chromium extensions (like Tempermonkey) will not be loaded in this case.
2. you have to start a development server your self (e.g. python -m http.server)
