Jovo run connection error (Error: xhr poll error)

#1

I ran into this issue this morning. It looks like there is something wrong with the local prototyping webhook.

I’ve tried updating and re-installing the jovo-cli but that did not help. And it shouldn’t be an issue with my internet connection.

Running jovo run results in the following error:

Sorry, there seems to be an issue with the connection!
{ Error: xhr poll error
    at XHR.Transport.onError (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/jovo-cli/node_modules/engine.io-client/lib/transport.js:67:13)

I’m not sure what to make of the error, any help would be appreciated!

I’m having the same error with jovo run so I cannot test my skill using the jovo webhook. Yesterday it was working fine. Seems like the SSL certificate for https://webhook.jovo.cloud/ expired a few hours ago. Is there something we can do to get it working again?

For now I’ve switched to bst-proxy to be able to test.

Hi
I’m having the same problem, but i don’t know why. I’ll try work with ngrok or bst-proxy while the problem is solved.

#4

Seeing the same issue here.

#5

Thank you all for reporting the issue. Will work on fixing this!

For now, as mentioned by @Carleslc and @EverAcosta, I recommend using either bst-proxy or ngrok. Let me know if you have any questions setting it up

#6

Hi, I am having the same issue ( on OSX ). Any update since this previous post ?

How to use Ngrok to run the debugger ? I tried several thinks ( from Jovo doc and NgRok doc ) with no success, I don’t get it, I am new to this… For now :slight_smile:

Kind you provide an example ?

#7

I just ran into this problem today, though it was working fine until I rebuilt my development container. This happened on two different machines. I wonder if some now-broken data was cached?

#8

Hey!

Can’t reproduce and there are no errors in the server logs :frowning:

Could you provide logs from your machine?

#9

It happens on first install and the same happens if I reinstall from scratch again.
I am using Node v15.3.0 and Jovo CLI Version: 3.2.1

Here is the log:

    jovo run: Runs a local development server (webhook).

Thanks, this was helpful.

Looks like an issue with Node v15.3.0 (https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/36292). I was able to reproduce it after switching to v15.3.0 and getting another error with v15.5.1

It does work with 14.15.1

Thanks @AlexSwe , I installed a v14.15.4 of nodeJs and it works. :+1:
