Shopify App CLI : Failed to complete tunnel connection

[Whimsigirl]

Hi, First time trying to work create an app and im using the Shopify app CLI and after using $ shopify serve and launching the app in the dev store, I keep getting this error. 

Failed to complete tunnel connection

---

The connection to https://XXXXXXXXXXX.ngrok.io  was successfully tunneled to your ngrok client, but the client failed to establish a connection to the local address localhost:8081 .

Make sure that a web service is running on localhost:8081  and that it is a valid address.

The error encountered was: dial tcp [::1]:8081: connect: connection refused

Not sure how to get over this step. 

Thank you in advance!

Same here. Did you manage?

For anyone still getting this. Running shopify app tunnel stop and then shopify app serve again fixed this for me.
