Expected or Desired Behavior

I have created a SPFX webpart as mentioned in the docs. Expected behaviour was to open the local workbench when I run gulp serve command. But Local workbench is not working. Earlier I had created few SPFX webparts, they were working fine. I had installed yo at dev level. Now I installed yo at global level

Observed Behavior

Local workbench page is loaded with Site can't be reached error message. Err_connection_reset

Steps to Reproduce

Create a SPFX webpart ( I am using node -v 6.10.2, yo sp generator -v 1.4.0, gulp -v 3.9.1)
Run gulp trust-dev-cert
Run gulp serve

Thanks for your contribution! Sharing is caring.

Could it be that you have a firewall enabled that could be blocking your connection?

@silambarsan - Did you check your firewall? ERR_CONNECTION_RESET usually points to a network interface or firewall issue.

Are you able to navigate directly to https://localhost:4321?

It looks like I'm having a similar issue.

@nickpape-msft for node v8 is there a workaround until the release? I tried the directions on Set up your SharePoint Framework development environment with node 8.9.4 on High Sierra, and the Hello World Guide

After I run gulp serve, i'm taken to https://localhost:5432/workbench via Chrome, but site can't be reached ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED. @iclanton I can navigate to https://localhost:4321/ in which case I see a directory listing

This actually should be fixed in the latest release. I am testing this right now. Could you try removing your node_modules and package.lock/npm-shrinkwrap.json files and re-running npm install?

In the meantime you could try running with with NODE_NO_HTTP2 environment variable (#1002)

Using
set NODE_NO_HTTP2=1

Alek-S commented Feb 16, 2018

Hey,

Thanks for the quick reply.

Gave that a go but still no go for me on https://localhost:5432/workbench.

Did the following:

  1. Deleted node_modules folder
  2. Deleted package-lock.json file
  3. Added environmental variable for no http2 by putting export into my profile
-> printenv | grep NODE
NODE_NO_HTTP2=1
  1. Run npm install
  2. Run gulp serve

Get same ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED. Maybe minimun version number for one of the microsoft modules needs to be bumped up in package.json file from above?

I am curious as to what was updated to support NodeJS 8.9.4
I take it there wasn't something we needed to update on our end?

@nickpape
Copy link

I am not sure this is the same issue as the one we fixed.

Essentially the fix was to ensure that one of our dependencies wasn't automatically using the HTTP2 library that is shipped with node (mostly because it is an "experimental" API, but also because it didn't work properly).

However, if activating the environment variable that disables the http2 module from being injected into the Node environment isn't working, it points to a different issue than the one we knew about.

What browser are you using?

Can you go into the developer tab and into the networking section and see if there is anything interesting there. Perhaps a security error, or perhaps a response from the firewall ?

Can you show the details of the failed workbench request by clicking on it?

Also, are you seeing a request (like Request: [::1] '/workbench') in the gulp serve logs when you navigate to https://localhost:5432/workbench?

Lastly, could you try going directly to https://localhost:4321/temp/workbench.html?

Does a workbench.html exist in your project's temp/ folder on disk?

@Alek-S that looks like config/config.json.. Could you double check?

Alek-S commented Feb 16, 2018

You're right, my mistake:

serve.json below

{
  "$schema": "https://dev.office.com/json-schemas/core-build/serve.schema.json",
  "port": 4321,
  "https": true,
  "initialPage": "https://localhost:5432/workbench",

    "port": 5432,
    "entryPath": "node_modules/@microsoft/sp-webpart-workbench/lib/api/"
  }
}

@Alek-S
Copy link

Alek-S commented Feb 16, 2018

so changing intialPage to temp/workbench.html assume is the fix then?

@nickpape
Copy link

Okay, that config file looks correct.

Also, if you delete the temp directory and re-run gulp serve does the /temp/workbench.html still get generated?

If the above is true (and the file is regenerated) then you could change you initial page as a workaround, although there still seems to be something weird if you can't go to localhost:5432/workbench.

@nickpape
Copy link

I am going to try this out on a Mac (OS X Yosemite 10.10.5) and see if I can repro the issue.

@Alek-S
Copy link

Alek-S commented Feb 16, 2018

Confirming that removing temp directory and running gulp serve generates the temp folder.

@nickpape
Copy link

nickpape commented Feb 16, 2018

Fascinating. It didn't repro for me on Yosemite. @iclanton is going to see if we have any newer OSX installations lying around.

I'd stick with the workaround for right now, but I think this could be a firewall issue? We are using the native NodeJS https implementation to launch the API server.. Is this a corporate-configured computer?

Another thing you could check is run gulp serve then run lsof -n -i4TCP:5432 | grep LISTEN and lsof -n -i4TCP:4321| grep LISTEN.. We want to make sure they are both a "node" process with identical PID's. If the command for 5432 doesn't work then it could be possible there was an issue spinning up the server for that port.

Collaborator

@LouFarho New or existing project?

Assuming you've updated your project to v1.4.1, I'd suggest deleting your node_modules folder and reinstalling with npm install. Then give it a shot.

If still having issues, post the following in a follow-up:

  • contents of package.json in your project
  • result of node -v
  • version property of the file in node_modules/@microsoft/sp-build-core-tasks/package.json

To answer your question above, this is what changed and the only thing you need to do is update your project to SPFx v1.4.1. I added details on how to do this in my post picking apart v1.4.1.

@LouFarho
Copy link

@andrewconnell Thank you sir!
I read your linked article. The npm outdated --global didn't flag the generator. But, I executed npm install @microsoft/generator-sharepoint --global anyway. It did perform an update.
λ npm install @microsoft/generator-sharepoint --global

  • @microsoft/generator-sharepoint@1.4.1
    updated 2 packages in 31.084s

I then went to a project folder and executed npm update
I noticed several of the modules in the package.json get updated which was logged in the output.

Running gulp serve executed as desired.

I did notice a bunch of warnings about deprecated packages but I expect that is discussed elsewhere.

@andrewconnell
Copy link
Collaborator

When there are a lot of updates like this, I find it's best to blow away node_modules and do a clean install, not an upgrade / update.

Good to hear it's working.

Seems like this can get closed @nickpape-msft / @Alek-S

@nickpape
Copy link

Sounds about right @andrewconnell . Generally it is going to be safer to delete/re-install your node_modules folder. This is due to the non-determinism that is inherent to NPM. I'm closing the issue. @LouFarho please open a new one if you continue to experience any issues.

@andrewconnell

Now that this is closed, I'll pile on...

This is one big reason why I prefer using Yarn over NPM. Yes, NPM created their own lock file, but its got its own issues. With Yarn, you can rest assured you will get the SAME packages every time you run it to rebuild your node_modules folder. PNPM has promise with symlinks and proves there aren't issues following symlinks (that you always seem to run into), but until they iron out those issues, it's Yarn #FTW for me. :)

There are loads of known issues with IE... with the recent news from MSFT's cybersecurity chief coming out against IE11, I wouldn't be surprised if we see something soon about the future of it. My advice to customers: get away from IE & get on a modern evergreen browser. Not just for SPFx, but for life in general.

I think the output of the gulp task should show port 5432 already in use or something similar.
5432 is maybe not the best default, as that is already the default of PostGresQL?

I was having the same issue and I saw that PostGresQL was running, so I stopped it and the workbench worked. Thank you!

@Tusharc4227 When an issue is closed, people aren't looking at it so it's best to add a new issue. But to address your specific question, you can't debug extensions in the workbench.
