Hi, I'd like to run my gwt project in dev mode and open it on my i pad. How can I do this? I tried to replace the local-host part with my pcs ip address and open the website, but it doesn't work.
If you are using eclipse, the Jetty server binds on the localhost interface only, meaning that it will not serve request when the address is not localhost even if the specified IP is on the same machine. To allow connection from other computers (or iPads) you need to modify this addres in the launch configuration.
Open your launch configuration:
Run --> Run Configurations... --> Web Application --> [YourApplication]
Open the Arguments tab and in the first text box (Program arguments) add the following argument:
-bindAddress [your ip address]
ex: -bindAddress 192.168.1.200
see this post
There is NO WAY to use the dev mode for iOs, because there is no dev-mode plugin for iOS.
You can enable the Super Dev Mode. This will enable a really fast compiler.
update
As mentioned: -bindAddress 0.0.0.0 may be helpful to bind the jetty to any IP.
Your ipad and the system must be connected via Network (LAN).

I am running my jenkins on localhost on my macmini which is my remote machine. All the tests are also running on that mac mini. However i want to share that localhost:8080 jenkins url to make it publickly so something like the eg.71.65.187.98:8080. so within the same network my coworkers can open the url and see the jenkins. How can i do that? without using any external service?
Run ifconfig in the terminal. it'll show all the network interfaces on your Mac. One of them is the network your machine is actively connected to.
If your Mac is on a wired connection that should be en0. Make a note of the address after inet, that should be the address your machine uses
It depends on how you start your jenkins server. If you use the generic war file then you can add the command flags --httpPort=yourPort --httpListenAddress=yourAdress.
A complete command could look like this:
java "${JAVA_OPTS}" -Xms256m -Xmx256m -jar jenkins.war --httpPort=8787 --httpListenAddress=192.168.0.171
Depending on your OS it may be possible that you need to tell your firewall to open the desired port.
I was able to solve the issue since i installed my jenkins using brew. first I needed to :
nano /usr/local/opt/jenkins-lts/homebrew.mxcl.jenkins-lts.plist
then change the httpListenAddress to 0.0.0.0
Then by using ifconfig on the terminal i was able to get my IP address and i was able the use IP address:8080 inside my network.
I have a working bot that interacts normally with the bot emulator.When I added docker support the emulator stopped interacting with the bot.
I read that I should un check the "bypass ngrok for local addresses" in the emulator settings and configure ngrok.
I have trouble understanding what I should do, I downloaded ngrok.exe and it opened a command line under the name "ngrok.exe".
The path for the running project is :"http://localhost:32768/api/messages".
How should I configure ngrok so the emulator will start interacting with the bot ?
Any other approaches would be good to..
I was able to get my docker container to work with my emulator finally, so I'll show you what I had to change to get it to work!
Using: Emulator 4.2.1, ngrok, and a sample echo bot:
Place the ngrok.exe file where you can find it. Mine's in a folder on my desktop. Then open the emulator. In the bottom left, there is a cog wheel for the emulator settings:
That page will open ... emulator settings. In this page, use the browse button to navigate to and select your ngrok.exe file:
I found that it did not matter for me whether or not I checked the 'Bypass' box.
Note (here's what saved me): localhost is mapped to my ipv4
I ran ipconfig /all in my command prompt to get my IPv4, and then went back to the emulator. In the configuration for my bot, where I was supposed to put in my end point (typically https://localhost:3978/api/messages), I replaced the word 'localhost' with my IPv4:
After I did that, I was able to talk to my bot:
I'm hosting a .NET Core HTTP application on localhost using Kestrel on an available port for some browser-based UI tests, but when trying to access it using real iOS devices with BrowserStack Automate with BrowserStackLocal.exe, Safari consistently refuses load the page.
I've tried various parts of the IP ranges documented here, but none have been successful. Desktop browsers (Chrome, IE, Edge and Firefox on Windows, Safari on macOS Mojave) and real Android devices work as expected.
I've also tried using the local IP address of the machine and the fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) as described here, but neither work portably as Windows Firewall blocks the connections even through BrowserStack Automate can resolve the address.
Port 80 is not a viable solution as developers' machines will have IIS running on their machines using that port, so it is not available for other purposes.
Given the following constraints, what are the workable solutions?
Hosted on HTTP.
Runs without admin privileges (i.e. no reconfiguring the firewall or using privileged port numbers <1024).
At least two possible port numbers to use so that if one is in use there's at least one alternate to try.
No additional manual setup required to run the tests (should just be the command dotnet test).
On the iOS devices, try resolving http://bs-local.com:5000 instead of http://localhost:5000.
You can access the site using http://bs-local.com:5000, But make sure to disable the host check for webpack using disableHostCheck: true in configuration.
For angular cli users, to disable to the host check you need to use --disable-host-check like ng serve --port 4200 --disable-host-check
This is from BrowserStack's support:
a) On Safari
Previously, accessing local websites with 'localhost/127.0.0.1' in the URL was not supported on iOS devices running iOS versions 10 and above.
However, to make sure that your website loads with 'localhost' in the URL, we now modify the URL to http://bs-local.com on these devices. This helps in loading your website in an expected manner. The same is mentioned here.
In the screenshot you've shared, you can see the redirection to bs-local.com as well.
It seems that your localhost website is configured to be accessible only via specific hostnames such as 'localhost'. Thus, you face the reported error.
To be able to test your localhost website via Safari on iOS devices, I would recommend configuring your localhost website to be accessible via the private IP address of your local machine.
Once done, you can access your localhost website as http://<private_IP_address:port> and this should work.
I would also encourage reading through this guide to understand how you could achieve the above: https://www.notion.so/Testing-localhost-on-iOS-devices-1ceb5e274cee46d7ac538b71304919b4
b) On Chrome
Due to restrictions imposed by Safari, testing localhost websites on Chrome is not supported by default on iOS devices.
The problem arises with the usage of the domain 'localhost'. We are actively trying to find alternatives for this behavior as well.
However, in the meantime, you can access your localhost website via the private IP address as mentioned above via Chrome browser on iOS devices as well.
Once you make the necessary changes to your configuration to allow your localhost website to be accessible via the private IP address, you can test your localhost website via Chrome on iOS as well.
Feel free to reach out should you need any further assistance!
Note: The private IP address is not the same as 127.0.0.1. You can use this article to identify the private IP address of your machine.

Did you try changing the 'localhost' with the IP address of the machine (where the web is hosted)?
For instance - If the IP for the machine on which application/webpage is hosted is 22.22.22.22, then change http://localhost:3000/index.html to http://22.22.22.22:3000/index.html in your test
They have mentioned the same here - https://www.browserstack.com/question/663
If you are using Angular CLI then please run command
ng serve --host 0.0.0.0 --port xxxx
This will make sure that you would be able to access application using your IP and port specified. Once done you should be able to access your application using browser stack iPhone device browsers using IP and port rather than localhost.
I have a web application written in ASP.NET MVC 5. I simply can open it from the browser with this localhost:14920 in my computer, but I want to access the same application from my Android device's browser while my laptop and Android device are in the same network. I don't know how to access it from Android.
Note: when I type 127.0.0.1 in the Android browser I can access the IIS server, but when I type 127.0.0.1:14920 it prints Bad Request - Invalid Hostname. How can I fix this issue?
You can configure IISExpress for remote access
http://www.ryadel.com/en/iis-express-allow-external-requests-remote-clients-devices/
or just change the hosting to IIS as the earlier commenter mentioned.
Try with replacing 127.0.0.1 with your IPv4 address.
I have used ngrok in the past, when needing to hit my development machine, or have someone else hit it. It is a very useful tool and very simple to install.
Once you download it, it's just a simple command line:
https://ngrok.com/docs#expose
ngrok http 80
(That is for traffic on port 80) Since your port above looks different it would be:
ngrok http 14920
That will give a URL that you can hit or any machine or device.
After upgrading to OSX Yosemite, I can no longer test my app on a mobile device by using my development machine's (MacBook Pro) IP address. For example, I used to be able to view a Rails app on a phone by going to http://192.168.0.4:3000, but now I get the following error:
ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
I get the same error when testing an AngularJS app using the grunt server running at http://192.168.0.4:9000
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
It could help to bind the server to your local IP, like
rails s -p9000 -b192.168.0.4
to start your rails app
Consider giving a try to Pow. Its pretty simple to install, and a great solution to share a local development across multiple devices.
Like it explains in their homepage, you can install it with just :
curl get.pow.cx | sh. To prevent any errors, install in Terminal app outside a Tmux session.
And just symlink your app :
cd ~/.pow
ln -s /path/to/myapp
You can access your app at http://myapp.dev/, and at http://myapp.[your ip address].xip.io from another device.
Not a direct response to your issue, but an alternative to setting yourself a configuration in your preferences.
Turn IPv6 off. It Prevented me from connecting to my localhost from other computers on my LAN. And, with the newer versions of OSX there is no way to turn it off in the Network Preferences Panel so you have to do it from terminal.
Open Terminal and enter to turn it off:
networksetup -setv6off Wi-Fi
And this to turn it back on:
networksetup -setv6LinkLocal Wi-Fi
If you are connected via Ethernet or something else just run this command to list the available options:
networksetup -listallnetworkservices
and replace "Wi-Fi" with the appropriate device.
I don't have a mac, but that seems to be the server not accepting connections, if that is the case, it's only accepting localhost connections, try binding de server to accept all connections or bind it to 0.0.0.0 ip
Can you access that IP from Browser? are you sure your IP is in the same range with 192.168.0.4? It is your mobile device connected on the same network? Maybe you used internet sharing before update to Yosemite and now is off?
I think your IP address changed. Telnet from console(terminal) your I.P. port. If 192.168.0.4 is your real Ip then maybe add(as root or via sudo) an entry in /etc/host file an entry as 127.0.0.1 192.168.0.4. Restart network or reboot. Also you can try nmap ( on ip to see open ports). Nmap has been ported to OSX just google for installer.
