[FEEDBACK]: apiPort setting is not available in devproxyrc.json

Outdated article

Feedback

The documentation mentions various proxy settings but does not include information about the apiPort setting in devproxyrc.json. It would be helpful to clarify if this setting is supported or intended to be configurable in devproxyrc.json. If not, please update the documentation to explicitly state its absence to avoid confusion.

Thank you for reaching out. apiPort is the first setting mentioned in the doc:

Because it's included in this listing, it means that it can be configured in devproxyrc.json. Or am I misunderstanding your comment and you mean something else? 🙂

The apiPort is not available on the schema of the config file https://github.com/microsoft/dev-proxy/blob/main/schemas/v0.23.0/rc.schema.json, and when I was trying to set the apiPort in the config, devproxy was not working for me. Given these circumstances, I was confused whether the documentation needs to be updated.

Understood, thank you for clarifying. Let me verify it and I'll get back to you when I know more.

apiPort missing in the schema is a bug and we'll fix it asap

If I specify apiPort in Dev Proxy config, it seems to be working just fine:

Could you please share with me your repro steps?
