Linting and Bootstrap issues in Dreamweaver 2015
- Unable to lint the code. Dreamweaver displays an error in the Output panel: "Cannot lint the code." On Mac 10.10, the output panel displays "Linting operation timed out".
- Unable to create a Bootstrap document. Dreamweaver displays the error, "Cannot create a new document as Bootstrap customization failed."
Solution
-
-
Assign a specific port for the services from the node server (including linting). Ensure that this port is not blocked by your system administrator. To do this, create a file NodePort.json, and specify the port number in the file in the following format:
{ “toolingport” : <portnumber> }For example, if 8010 is the port number that you want to use, then specify the following:
{ “toolingport” : 8010 }Note:If you have already created a NodePort.json file with a key value pair in it, use comma to separate the new key value pair or specify the new key value pair in a separate line.
-
Save the NodePort.json file in the following path:
- Windows: %appdata%\Adobe\Dreamweaver CC 2015\en_US\Configuration
- Mac OS: ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Dreamweaver CC 2015/en_US/Configuration
-
Restart Dreamweaver.
-
If you still get an error message, contact your system administrator to unblock the IP address of the node server: 127.0.0.1. Then, restart Dreamweaver.
Additional information
Dreamweaver runs a local HTTP node server for the linting service on a random port assigned by the node. Linting doesn't work if one or both of the following are blocked by your system administrator:
- The random port assigned by the node server.
- The IP address of the server is 127.0.0.1.
