Shopify CLI - Ngrok error when serving app
I am on a windows 10 machine and trying to use the Shopify App CLI to create apps, but I am running into some errors.
First I installed ruby so I could use the gem command to install the Shopify App CLI, as explained here.
When running shopify version as explained in the above documentation, I get the following output:
bash: shopify: command not found
After googling for a bit I found a solution to this problem, by running shopify.bat version. With this command I can use the CLI.
Moving on, I tried following this tutorial to create my first Shopify App. I used shopify.bat create node to create my app, moved into the folder and ran shopify.bat serve to serve my app locally.
Now the following problem arises:
It starts promising by installing ngrok:
But after waiting for a bit, I get the following output (Sorry for the screenshot, I could not get it to look normal with inline code):
What I also notice is that it uses C:/Ruby27-x64/lib/ruby/gems/2.7.0/gems/shopify-cli-1.4.0/ as the path to the CLI, but when looking on Google, most people have /home/[USER]/.shopify-app-cli/ as the path to the CLI. This path does not exist on my machine.
So I would like to know why first of all the serving of the app won't work, because ngrok can't be found, and second why ~/home/user/.shopify-app-cli does not exist.
Thanks in advance,
Mike
I think modern Windows come with Linux now. Since the Internet runs on Linux, you might find development and following tutorials much easier if you use Linux, since all these inconveniences of Windows disappear. Unless you are already super handy with all the quirks of Windows to work around their results, it could be your ticket!
That being said, I mastered this development pattern using *nix and it remains pretty advanced to actually have a smooth workflow for both localhost and production development. Ngrok itself is painful without paying for the service and using puma-dev and puma-ngrok... I laugh when I think about how those essentials running under Windows will be for you.
