Is there a way to set a static port for a Capacitor project?

[kfawcett]

I’m continually switching between my Server API project and Client project (Electron, mobile, and web testing). I have to set the client address in CORS on the server and semi-frequently Wappler shuts down and restarts the client project causing it to run on a new port. Is there a way to define the port for the Client project so this isn’t a constant issue I have to correct?

I have a similar challenge and opened a feature request for this:

Small Feature Request: the ability to specify a fixed port for preview per project or globally (HTML/Framework7)

For mobile development, it would be great if we can specify optionally globally or per project a fixed port for the preview and not a random port assigned each time we relaunch Wappler. Usually I have Chrome or Firefox opened and setup for development (e.g. device emulator set, chrome debugger opened, application or element views configured. With every launch of Wappler (and wappler crashes from time to time), I have to either manually change the port into a open window or setup a new debug vi…

Workaround here:

Small Feature Request: the ability to specify a fixed port for preview per project or globally (HTML/Framework7)

As a workaround you can modify the first serverPort variable in server.js from 0 to another port number (e.g. 59540) located in <install directory>\Wappler\resources\app\Shared\DMXzone\dmxAppCreator\UI\server.js I’m not sure what issues this will cause if you’re working on multiple projects and switching between them, but it appears to work between one Server project and Capacitor mobile project.
