Why does WebStorm's LiveEdit not work in Chrome?

Do you happen to have IntelliJ open by chance? The point is that the port, 63342, is 'seized' by another app (even if it has nothing to do with HTML debugging).

When the port is busy, LiveEdit tries the next one, 63343. If you right click the JB icon on Chrome, choose Options, increment the port by one, and press Apply, you will magically connect. I wish Jetbrains would have bothered to inform the user what is the port that they are currently attempting to use.

In my PC it happened when I had Mac on. Either one of the following worked: 1. Kill IntelliJ IDEA (that was also open) and try again 2. Increment the port by one as I mentioned above.

I had to go to Run -> Debug (CTRL+F5 on Windows)

In my case live edit was just disabled (for some reason)
