Is Browsersync used with http-proxy-middleware if I am a proxy server on a local server?
I have an angular application deployed to localhost:3000creating requests for an api server deployed to localhost:8080. HTTP requests to the api server are proxied by browsers http-proxy-middleware. Everything works fine if I have an internet connection, but if I go offline, I will get the following error in the gulp console:
[HPM] Proxy error: ENOENT localhost:8080/data/pet
And on the browser console:
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of `500 (Internal Server Error)`
I know that the error is not on the server, because I can still achieve localhost:8080/data/petusing the browser.
Since the api server is deployed locally, it seems strange that I need an internet connection for the http request proxy.
The angular app with all its configuration was created using generator-gulp-angular
This is my gulp server configuration:
'use strict';
var path = require('path');
var gulp = require('gulp');
var conf = require('./conf');
var browserSync = require('browser-sync');
var browserSyncSpa = require('browser-sync-spa');
var util = require('util');
var proxyMiddleware = require('http-proxy-middleware');
function browserSyncInit(baseDir, browser) {
browser = browser === undefined ? 'default' : browser;
var routes = null;
if (baseDir === conf.paths.src || (util.isArray(baseDir) && baseDir.indexOf(conf.paths.src) !== -1)) {
routes = {
'/bower_components': 'bower_components'
};
}
var server = {
baseDir: baseDir,
routes: routes
};
server.middleware = proxyMiddleware('/data',
{
target: 'http://localhost:8080'
});
browserSync.instance = browserSync.init({
startPath: '/',
server: server,
browser: browser,
online: false
});
}
browserSync.use(browserSyncSpa({
selector: '[ng-app]'
}));
gulp.task('serve', ['watch'], function () {
browserSyncInit([path.join(conf.paths.tmp, '/serve'), conf.paths.src]);
});
gulp.task('serve:dist', ['build'], function () {
browserSyncInit(conf.paths.dist);
});
gulp.task('serve:e2e', ['inject'], function () {
browserSyncInit([conf.paths.tmp + '/serve', conf.paths.src], []);
});
gulp.task('serve:e2e-dist', ['build'], function () {
browserSyncInit(conf.paths.dist, []);
});
And this is my .json package:
