Dnsmasq homestead & osx stopped working for subdomains

Until chrome just blocked me from using my http://development.app domain, everything was working. My laptop suddenly restarted and then development domain (http://development.app) started asking for SSL.

So I tried to move to http://development.local (and also tried .test but couldn't make it work also - but everything was working on .app)

In my osx: 

nano /usr/local/etc/dnsmasq.conf

address=/.local/192.168.10.10  // also tried: address=/local/192.168.10.10

Then I restarted with:

sudo launchctl stop homebrew.mxcl.dnsmasq
sudo launchctl start homebrew.mxcl.dnsmasq

Then in vagrant ssh:

sudo nano /etc/dnsmasq.conf

local=/development.local/
domain=development.local
address=/development.local/127.0.0.1

In my hosts, I have:

192.168.10.10 development.local
192.168.10.10 *.development.local

Now, http://development.local works however http://test.development.local doesn't however, before this change it was working with http://test.development.app . Going the url now returns me:

This site can’t be reached test.development.local’s server IP address could not be found

I am not sure what it means at all but 

dig test.development.local @127.0.0.1

> test.development.local.   0   IN  A   192.168.10.10
Solution

  • I forgot about this step that I did earlier:

    nano /etc/resolver/local

nameserver 127.0.0.1
