error when using Progressive Web App (PWA) Studio for Adobe Commerce.

Affected products and versions

  • PWA Studio for Adobe Commerce

Issue

Step to reproduce:

  • Load your Adobe Commerce store in a browser.

Expected result:

  • The Adobe Commerce store loads normally in your browser.

Actual result:

  • Your web browser displays the “Cannot proxy to“ error and the console displays an error like:
    ENOTFOUND

Cause

NodeJS cannot resolve the hostname of your Adobe Commerce store.

Solution

  1. Make sure your Adobe Commerce store loads in more than one web browser.
  2. If you are running a local DNS server or VPN, add an entry to your hostfile (located in /etc/hosts) and manually map this domain (Generic instructions on hostfile editing) so NodeJS can resolve it.
