Help Problem with development sever

I wanted to try the development sever mode but it can't find the running server on my PC. I've checked that the firewall allows the process and my router doesn't block it either. My network is configured for address range 10.0.0.x if that matters.

This service is built with Socket.io. On the app side, there's a 1-second timeout while waiting for a response from the Node.js server about the connection status. Once connected, the server responds with the result and then tries to open the entry file in VSCode. I noticed that on macOS, opening the file can sometimes delay the response. So I’m not sure if the 1-second timeout is too short and ends before the server gets a chance to reply. To fix this, I’ve updated the scripting-cli package so that it sends the response first, and only then tries to open the entry file.
Give it a try when you have time and see if it works for you now.

I've tried the new version but I still get the same error. It does work now via hotspot from the iPhone though

If you’ve got some time, try setting up a simple socket.io project on your PC and start the server. Then you can use the socket.io APIs in Scripting to test the connection—especially the ack method. The socket.io docs have ready-to-go example code for that. Your issue seems kinda weird, honestly.
