Proxy not working

[pkpp1233]

Tried on react-scripts version 0.2.3 and 0.7.0. In both cases, proxy doesn't work and API calls go to localhost:3000 instead of localhost:3001. Anyone else run into this?

Hi @pkpp1233,

Thanks for your patience. Updating the repo now to 0.7.0. Still, I'm not sure what you're running into -- on a fresh install of master I don't have any issues. Were you trying this on a clean version of master or your own fork? If this is still a problem, would you mind providing more info?

@acco @pkpp1233 I seem to have a similar issue (maybe?) my proxy runs on port 3100 rather than 3001? Not really sure why as my Procfile is:

web: cd client && npm start
api: bundle exec rails s -p 3001

And the output of rake start is:

Running via Spring preloader in process 31341

16:21:24 web.1  | Note that the development build is not optimized.
16:21:24 web.1  | To create a production build, use npm run build.

So I changed my client/package.json to reflect this as:

{
  "name": "client",
  "version": "0.1.0",
  "private": true,
  "proxy": "http://localhost:3100/",
  "devDependencies": {
    "react-scripts": "0.8.5"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "react": "^15.4.2",
    "react-dom": "^15.4.2"
  },
  "scripts": {
    "start": "react-scripts start",
    "build": "react-scripts build",
    "test": "react-scripts test --env=jsdom",
    "eject": "react-scripts eject"
  }
}

And it works… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hi @willwright82 -- hmmm. I noticed you're using Puma. On the one hand, it says this:

16:21:19 api.1  | => Rails 5.0.1 application starting in development on http://localhost:3001

But then later it says this:

16:21:19 api.1  | * Listening on tcp://0.0.0.0:3100

As you say: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The -p flag may not be a valid way to set the port for Puma and Puma is using 3100 by default

I updated to Rails 5 and tested everything again -- still works fine for me

[willwright82]

Thanks @acco — Will play around with it and see. 🤔

If you haven't solved this yet, as I remember, the version of Puma (3.4?) that originally shipped with Rails 5.0.1 did not allow you to override the port number correctly. There were actually a couple of buggy versions of Puma as this kept coming back.....again, as I remember. It has been a while since I tried Rails 5.0

I just built the project from scratch with Rails 5.1.3 and Puma 3.7 and everything works correctly.
