Cannot use --host on Shopify CLI

Drew · May 8, 2025, 6:32pm

Is anyone else having issues using --host tag with “npm run dev – --host”?

This is the command I ran:

npm run dev -- --host

And this is the response:

> ****@2025.1.2 dev
> shopify hydrogen dev --codegen

WARNING: NPM scripts require an extra `--` separator to pass the flags.  Example: `npm run dev -- --reset`

Normally this works, but this morning I tried and it won’t host. Just gives me a warning to use an extra --

Hey @Drew - if you’re still seeing this issue pop up, could you try running this in your CLI:

shopify hydrogen dev --codegen --host --verbose

Just want to see if running both commands resolves the issue, and if not, I can take a look at the verbose logs if you can share them in this thread to see if we can narrow down the issue.

Yes, I ran this command and this is what it logged:

Hey @Drew thanks for sending those verbose logs over. That ERR_UNSUPPORTED_DIR_IMPORT error with Vite might be pointing to the the issue. I’ve had these kinds of module import issues pop up on me when using very newish Node versions.

One thing you could try would be to switch to the most up to date version of the Node LTS release (22.15.0), and then attempt the shopify hydrogen dev --host command again to see if that resolves the issue for you. If that doesn’t do the trick, just let me know, and I’m happy to do some more digging on my end internally here.
