how do I set up local testing in browserstack

Tags:

browserstack

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.

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 :)
