Web and WebWorks Development

[wslfung]

I've been testing my webworks app on the dev alpha.  using bbwp with -d option but when I start my app on the dev alpha, instead of getting a <ip>:<port> for me to use, I get <ip>:undefined.  Am I doing something wrong?  Has anyone run into the same problem before?

Hello,

Even though it shows as undefined, what happens when you try to connect to  ip:1337> ?

Hi Chad

When I go to ip:1337, nothing, just error from chrome saying it can't find the site.

nice session back at the blackberry jam in van BTW.  Started my app right after and just waiting for a few bbui components to complete before finishing it.  Did you ever get my email regarding "background service"?  Kinda waiting for that to decide whether I need to start looking at native development.

So can you ping the IP from your machine?

Just a few questions:
- Is Development Mode turned on on the device?
- Are you connecting through WiFi or USB?
- Which OS version are you running on your Dev Alpha?

[wslfung]

Dev Alpha OS version: 10.0.4.197, with development mode running and deploying thru WIFI.

Another note of importance perhaps is that I'm running the bbwp and blackberry-deploy from 64bit linux version of node-js rather than windows or mac version.  node.js didn't give me any errors, I'm trying to get a hold of a windows machine to see if deploying and building from there make any difference.

I can't imagine linux being the reason for this. I have run it on linux before without issues.

are you passing -d when call bbwp

[wslfung]

Yes, I did use the -d and when the app starts, it does say web inspector enabled. Just without a port.

As one more suggestion, it couldn't hurt to upgrade the Dev Alpha to the latest developer OS version:

https://developer.blackberry.com/blackberry10devalpha/

This would involve downloading an updated Desktop Manager, with updated drivers for the device as well, which could potentially have something to do with what's being seen now. It's a slight shot in the dark, but might be worth trying.

I planned to do that maybe tonight when I can finally get a hold of a windows machine... Haven't used one for ages.
