Localhost

[rfoel]

Does bruno work on localhost? I keep getting the following error when I send a request:

Error invoking remote method 'send-http-request': Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:3000

PS: My local server is running, I can call it with Insomnia, but not with bruno.

I'm on a Mac M1.

@rfoel Apologies for checking on this late.

I was able to hit localhost on my machine.
I am using a Macbook Air and the bruno version is v0.10.1

Can you confirm if you are still facing the same issue?
Which OS and which version of bruno are you currently on ?

[rfoel]

I have Bruno v0.10.2 installed and macOS Ventura 13.1. I recorded a video with the issue.

@rfoel Can you confirm that curl works
curl -X POST -d '{"email": "rfoelf@gmail.com"}' http://localhost:3000/otp/request

[rfoel]

@helloanoop yes it works fine.

Hey @rfoel !

Hope you are doing great!

It has been sometime.
No one else from the community has reported this issue.
There seems to be something on your machine that is preventing access to localhost from Bruno.

Can you install the latest version from website and check if the issue persists ?

[rfoel]

Same error. I'm not really sure what's happening. Postman and Insomnia work fine on my machine.

Error invoking remote method 'send-http-request': Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:3000

@rfoel Did you try to check if you have any firewall rule specific for Bruno, which might be blocking it?
If curl, Postman and Insomnia work, then it seems to be some rule only affecting Bruno.

After reading your issue, I wanted to test that, so on my MBP M1, I've blocked Bruno using LuLu and I got the same error you have.

Maybe you can also try to remove the app and reinstall it.

[fabioduque]

Ok, sorry, disregard the part about LuLu.

It is not blocking my connection to localhost after all.

After setting the rule, I've closed Bruno, and when I opened it again, it didn't select my correct environment so my {{baseUrl}} was not being populated, hence the connection error. Sorry about that.

LuLu affects an external connection though...

[julianhirt]

I do have the same issue not using LuLu

[fabioduque]

Ironically, for some reason, I started to get the same issue as @rfoel:
Error invoking remote method 'send-http-request': Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:3000

It should have nothing to do with the firewall / LuLu, as I stated on my previous post.

I can make external requests (google.com, for example), but localhost stopped being reachable.
I have uninstalled Bruno (and all associated files in ~/Library), reinstalled and got the same behaviour. I even tried to put the collection in another unrelated folder.

One minute it was working, the other it wasn't. My only change was to add Nuxt devtools in the project I was testing before. I have disabled the devtools, just to see if it had some impact, to no avail.

I have created a new Nuxt project (no devtools) and the result was the same.

What I found is that if I run npm run dev (which runs nuxt dev), Bruno throws the error.
If I run nuxt dev --host, to also expose to the network, suddenly it works.
This worked on both projects (the already existing one and the new I created for testing).

It doesn't make any sense to me, since it was working even before the --host flag, but for now it's a workaround I'll have to use.

I'm using Nuxt is 3.7.4, and my node version is 18.15. I'm also using nvm, if that matters to other users that might have this.

If anyone has some thoughts on this, it would be appreciated.

[rfoel]

I've made some discoveries. In a project running an express app with docker, bruno seems to work with localhost. My problem still persists when I use serverless-offline though, so the problem might be something between this package and bruno.

[Epick362]

Experiencing the same with serverless-offline and Bruno :(

{
    "serverless": "^3.35.2",
    "serverless-offline": "13.2.0"
}

[julianhirt]

Personal update: My issue disappeared after upgrading to Mac OSX Sonoma. Can't reproduce it anymore.

[rfoel]

I guess the issue is specific with serverless-offline and bruno. Other IDE work fine with it, but bruno has something missing.

[fabioduque]

@rfoel I'm not using serverless-offline and also had that issue, so it's not tied to that explicitly.

I am just using Nuxt 3 (Vue 3), which starts everything with vite.
It might be something in common, of course.

Luckily, I have updated Bruno and my issue disappeared (meaning that I don't need to use --host option when starting Nuxt).

Btw, concerning Mac OSX Sonoma that @julianhirt mentioned, I had already upgraded when I had the issue with Bruno, so at least for me, Sonoma didn't solve it.
