The source code compile fine, but get alway "Proxy error: Could not proxy request"

[kikutano]

Hello to everyone,
I've downloaded and compiled the source code, but when I try so put the url, for some reason I got this error:

Proxy error: Could not proxy request /validator from localhost:8080 to http://localhost:9000/.
See https://nodejs.org/api/errors.html#errors_common_system_errors for more information (ECONNREFUSED).

I tried everything I could, but nothing works. Can someone tell me how to fix this error? Thanks!

Hello, sorry for the trouble.

First, if you just want to use the validator, you can use the hosted version on https://gbfs-validator.netlify.app/

It seems, the problem is on your side. I would love to help you and others may also have the same problem.

1. Did you try at home / personal computer (to avoid corporate firewall and divers possible securities)?
2. What is your NodeJS version ? Mac / windows ?
3. Did you try https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45367298/could-not-proxy-request-pusher-auth-from-localhost3000-to-http-localhost500 ?
4. Can you try with by fixing the version on netlify-lambda to 2.0.15 (don't forget to re-install deps). They may add a bug in the latest 2.0.16 version

Best

Hi @PierrickP,
unfortunately I need to compile the service because I need to check the GFBS offline. Anyway I can use your code by bypassing the UI and using the CLI. In this way it works!

1. Yes.
2. Node JS 14.17.5
3. Yes, without results!
4. I can try this one ok.

By the way, using directly the CLI I can parse the GBFS.json (hosted on https://www.npoint.io/) file without any problem! I will try some of your suggests. Thanks.
