Issue: Running “npm run dev” for a Shopify app hangs after choosing a store, then shows an empty error dialog. It previously worked without issues.
Attempts so far: Cleared npm cache, deleted node_modules/package.json, reinstalled dependencies (npm install), and even recreated the app. npm-cache logs provided no useful clues. A screenshot of the empty error dialog is attached and relevant.
Environment details: Another user reproduced the issue on Shopify CLI 3.49.3, Node 18.16.0, npm 9.5.1.
Suggestions/requests from replies:
Update Shopify CLI to the latest version.
Specify operating system (Mac or Windows).
Re-run the command with the --verbose flag and share the output for diagnosis.
Status: Unresolved/ongoing. Key next steps are to confirm OS and CLI version, run with --verbose, and provide the detailed logs to identify the cause.
Whenever I attempt to run the npm run dev command I get stuck after asking which store I would like to use to view my project in and with the info box showing underneath. After maybe 10-15 seconds of waiting, an empty error box appears.
I didn’t have any issues a few months ago and I have tried many basic fixes such as clearing cache, deleting node modules / package.json and running npm install again, and recreating my app from scratch.
My npm-cache logs don’t give any meaningful information either.
