# Inalid target **URL:** \ **Category:** Store Design\ **Tags:** liquid, troubleshooting\ **Created:** [July 11, 2024, 10:07am UTC](https://community.shopify.com/t/inalid-target/338661 "2024-07-11T10:07:02Z")\ **Posts on this page:** 7\ **Page:** 1 ## AI-generated summary Main issue: Running a Shopify theme triggers an “invalid target” error. A screenshot was shared, and later a video was provided showing a different error after a partial workaround. Actions tried and suggestions: - Logout/login via “shopify auth logout” and sign in with the correct account. Tried on another device and account; issue persists. - Start dev server using the store name without “.com” (e.g., “shopify theme dev --s advaknead”) and ensure the account has permissions. Also suggested “npm install -g @Shopify_77 /cli” and a system restart; no change. - Logging in with store.myshopify.com succeeded, but produced a new, “scary” error; a video link was shared to demonstrate it (video is central to understanding the new failure). - Reinstall the Shopify CLI or update gems (Ruby packages). Attempted, but the same error remains. Status: Unresolved. The root cause of “invalid target” and the subsequent error is still unclear. Open items: Need concrete CLI error logs (from the video/terminal), exact Shopify CLI version, theme environment details, and permission verification to proceed with diagnosis.

Try to type your store name without “com”. Just _shopify theme dev --s advaknead_ Your account should have permits. You can also try_npm install -g @Shopify_77 /cli_and login again. And lastly - restart your system 😄 It should work. ---

Yeah, you should try to reinstall your CLI or update gems. ---
