Unable to Start Dev Server – Shopify CLI Tunnel Aborted (Cloudflare Error)

Hi everyone,

I’ve created a new Shopify node template app, but the server isn’t starting. When I run npm run dev or shopify app dev, I encounter this error:
Error:
╭─ error ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╮

shopify cli version
3.78.1

Hey @Hemant_Gehlod :waving_hand: - it looks like a few other folks have reported this behaviour popping up here in the Github repo for the CLI App: GitHub - Shopify/cli: Build apps, themes, and hydrogen storefronts for Shopify

If you haven’t reached out there yet, that would be the best place to report the issue if you’re still seeing it since it should get you in touch with the CLI developers directly.

That said, can you also ping me here if you’re still seeing the issue? I can do a bit more digging on my end to see if we can narrow down the issue. I wasn’t able to replicate this on my side here, but if the issue persists, can you try running shopify app dev --verbose and sharing the full verbose command output in the thread?

With that, I can see if there’s anything on our end that we can relate the cause too.

Hope this helps!
