I am using browserstack to test some devices, like IE. However I need to set up local testing so I can test my site localhost:3000
I have logged in to browserstack in Chrome and installed the extension. I click on the extension IE11 link. It takes me to a IE11 on Windows 8 virtual machine.
I type localhost:3000
into IE but it doesn't seem to work.
Then I click the Settings cog and click resolve all URLs through my network.
Still it doesn't seem to work for me.
Using Local testing, BrowserStack enables you to run automated tests on your internal development environments, on localhost, staging setups, or from behind a corporate firewall. Local testing establishes a secure connection between your machine and the BrowserStack cloud.
BrowserStack Local Testing Local Testing creates a secure, persistent tunnel between your local development/staging environments and the BrowserStack Cloud. With Local Testing, all your web and mobile apps can be tested out of the box, including those hosted on localhost, behind proxies and firewalls and much more.
0.1 , then you can access localhost in a test via http://testing/. Launch a test using your local IP address. For example, if you are hosting a server on your computer and your local IP address is 192.168. 0.100, then you can access your server in a test via http://192.168.0.100/.
Looks like the setup was fine in Browserstack, I just forgot that in IE11 I need to use http://localhost:3000
as it doesn't automatically resolve the protocol http
silly mistake :)
