How to run vue-cli webpack template on Cloud 9?

1

Hi guys,

I’m getting into Vue.js and want to get setup on Cloud 9. I can install everything just fine, but when I then goto run npm run dev it says Your application is running here: http://localhost:8080 but then when i click to preview it says the “app doesn’t seem to be here” and the URL is now http://vue-assignment-jack-lyons.c9users.io:8080/.

I understand that c9 reroutes the app, and that localhost works only “locally”. But how do I configure webpack/cloud 9 to work?

Thank you in advance!

You should probably specify the port you want your webpack dev server to run to.
You can use the flags --port and --host to set them as to what cloud9 uses by default.

 --host $IP --port $PORT

Hope it helps.

[side personal note] maybe it’s time to ditch a preconfig online IDE and start working on your own :slight_smile:

Thanks for the help. But it still runs at Port 8080, however instead of the app not working, when i open the window it says this Invalid Host header and that’s all…

However, I did manage to get the app running with this code:
webpack-dev-server --inline --progress --port 8080 --host 0.0.0.0 --config build/webpack.dev.conf.js --public $C9_HOSTNAME

Thanks to this forum link

New to Vue & it took me a few extra minutes to understand where you were adding this…
It’s in the package.json, line 8 under dev scripts… for future thread readers or me when I forget.
