Use when the user mentions HMR, websocket, ws://, --host, 0.0.0.0, LAN IP, firewall, or a device that can load HTML but not assets/HMR. allowed-tools: Read, Grep, Glob, Bash, Edit, Write, mcp__openwebf__docs_search, mcp__openwebf__docs_get_section, mcp__openwebf__docs_related
OpenWebF App: Dev Server & Network Troubleshooting
Instructions
- Collect the minimum facts: platform (desktop/iOS/Android), dev server URL, framework (Vite/Webpack), and exact error/symptom.
- Prioritize network reachability before app-level debugging:
- LAN IP vs
localhost - binding to interfaces (e.g.
--host) - firewall/port rules
- LAN IP vs
- If hot reload (HMR) is the issue, confirm the dev server is configured for network access and HMR websocket is reachable.
- Use MCP docs for authoritative steps and known pitfalls; keep changes minimal.
