Default Live Preview. HTML. Not updated at change a attached files

[IgorNovozhilov]

Preview is not updated when you change the stylesheets, and scripts attached to the html file using the tags link and script.

• VSCode Version:
  

• OS Version: Linux Mint 18 x64

Steps to Reproduce:
Files from the example: test-files.zip

1. If I embed the styles and scripts directly in the html, when you change the code preview is updated.

2. If I use the tags link and script code changes not covered in the preview.

sample html

change code in file test2.js, the changes are not applied

I believe this was actually using the markdown preview, which used to allow viewing any file as markdown. Html content also happens to be valid markdown but previewing html was never a scenario we officially supported. We have since restricted the markdown preview to markdown files

#12080 tracks official support for a html live preview. There are a few extensions in the marketplace that you can try that already add this, such as https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ritwickdey.LiveServer
