Problems running quick action preview

šŸŒµ Needle Engine
1

Hi :wave: :slightly_smiling_face:

Since the last couple of updates I find Iā€™m unable to run the preview.

Whenever I hit the ā€˜Playā€™ or ā€˜Start Serverā€™ buttons I get a notification saying ā€œError: port 3000 is already in useā€ along with ā€œServer is not responding - it could mean that another application is already running on port 3000ā€¦ etc etcā€ .

Iā€™ve run ā€˜npm startā€™ in the requisite directory, as suggested in console, but sadly that didnā€™t helpā€¦ plus Iā€™ve also run ā€˜lsof -i tcp:3000ā€™ and successfully killed anything thatā€™s running (just Unity and node were listed), then reopened the project and tried again, but no luck. I still get the ā€˜port in useā€™ problem.

Iā€™ve even shut down and rebooted the computer, and run disk utilitiesā€¦ still no joy.

Any help or advice will be gratefully received :slightly_smiling_face:

PS: Iā€™m on Mac OS Ventura 13.4 ā€¦ and am currently using Needle v 3.5.9-pre

Thatā€™s strange. When you visit the local IP in the browser, does it still work despite the logged error?

And: which Unity version are you on?

Hi @herbstā€‹:cactus: and many thanks for responding :slightly_smiling_face:

Iā€™ve tried running stuff using Unity 2021.3.2f1 (the original version used for the project) and also 2022.2.2f1, to see if that made any difference - but sadly not.

If I clear the browser cache several times Iā€™m ā€˜sometimesā€™ able to get the local IP to run the preview as intendedā€¦ but it doesnā€™t happen every time and seems fairly random.

Iā€™m using Chrome v 113.0.5672.126 (Official Build) (x86_64), BTW.

Hi Frannie, can you try with the latest update?

Hi @Marcel_Wiessler1 :cactus: ā€¦ apols for the lengthy delay in replying but Iā€™m having trouble accessing the update.

Despite several refreshes (and a restart of Unity) the Package Manager is still only offering v 3.5.9-pre, with the most recent update cited as being May 20, 14.24 as opposed to your latest update at 13.11 today.
