Totally same :-)
I run backstop remote

martiniert commented

@Merynek it seems to be working with 6.1.3, fyi

garris commented

Uh oh. Looks like this is broken in 6.1.4. I will roll this back.

Was this fixed? I haven't been able to get remote working with Node 16, 18, on any port I can think of.

What's happening

@6.2.2

What I've Tried

  • nvm use 16
  • sudo BACKSTOP_REMOTE_HTTP_PORT=3001 backstop remote --config="backstop.production.json"
  • BACKSTOP_REMOTE_HTTP_PORT=1338 backstop remote --config="backstop.production.json"
  • a dozen other ports
  • npm i -g backstopjs
  • downgrading to backstopjs@6.1.3
  • upgrading to super-simple-web-server@1.1.4
  • lsof -i :3001 and other attempted ports — all open

Hey guys, this problems seems to have persisted to some degree, have tried using the remote command with no success, running on version 6.2.2 on macOS Sonoma.
Running it with the command BACKSTOP_REMOTE_HTTP_PORT=8080 backstop remote --config="backstop.config.js" results in the same error message:

I tried Remote service but immediately after this command: backstop remote it display image and on http://127.0.0.1:1234/ i cant see anything naturally.

Any idea?

Was able to get it running when switching over to version 6.1.3, though no button appears for approving in the web interface. It also runs on my colleagues Windows system, though had to remove the port definition for it to work.
This problem is encountered by someone else as well, as can be seen in this issue: #1498
Please let me know if there is any other information I could provide to help troubleshoot this, thanks!
