Hello, I'm developing a theme for our webstore, and recently the link, which the command `shopify theme dev` brings up, leads me to a 404 page. It's the same procedure I successfully used until ~2 weeks ago, any idea what could have happened?
There is the thing that I use GitPod, where global NPM installs are not preserved, so I have to run `npm install -g @Shopify/theme @Shopify/dev` everytime I fire up the instance, so maybe the Shopify servers detected some suspicious behaviour because the request comes from a fresh install every time?
There could be several reasons why you are seeing a 404 error when accessing the link that the shopify theme dev
command brings up. Here are a few things you can try:
Check the URL: Double-check the URL to make sure that it is correct and that you haven't mistyped it.
Clear cache and cookies: Clear your browser cache and cookies to make sure that you have the most up-to-date version of the page.
Check your internet connection: Make sure that your internet connection is stable and that you are not experiencing any connectivity issues.
Verify your Shopify account: Check to see if your Shopify account is still active and that you have not reached any limitations or restrictions.
Verify your Shopify API credentials: Ensure that you have the correct API credentials and that they have not expired.
Regarding your suspicion that the Shopify servers detected suspicious behavior because the request comes from a fresh install every time, it is possible but unlikely. Shopify may have rate-limiting measures in place to prevent excessive requests from a single IP address, but if you are using GitPod, your requests should be coming from a different IP address each time.
In any case, it is a good practice to run npm install -g @Shopify/theme @Shopify/dev
each time you fire up the instance, so I don't think that would be the cause of the 404 error.
