Nothing happens

[GabeConsalter]

Hi. I made an app to try use Ekke and I'm having a problem that when I run it nothing happens.

Waiting minutes and nothing changes in console, what could be happening?

Sorry for the lack of responses from my side here. It seems like these issues have slipped through while I was on vacation.

What I'm guessing here is that you didn't start the iOS simulator , or android simulator your self. The project doesn't start it automatically for you as I made the assumption that most people will have that running already.

Hi @3rd-Eden, thank you for the response and sorry for the delay. I'm running test with app running on android device.

@GabeConsalter Are you running it on a physical device or an emulator? We currently follow the recommendations of the official Android simulator to use 10.0.2.2 as host loopback interface: https://developer.android.com/studio/run/emulator-networking so the <Ekke /> component in your app can communicate with your machine, if this address is different for you, or if you are using a physical device you might need to override the default hostname that we attempt to access:

You can configure this by supplying a hostname prop to the <Ekke /> component with the correct hostname or IP address over which it can communicate with your machine that started the ekke CLI to the tests:

<Ekke hostname="192.168.1.2" />

@3rd-Eden make sense but didn't work for me.

I was trying on a physical android device and now I tried on an android emulator. When I run react-native run-android I've the connection info:

...
info Starting the app on "192.168.56.103:5555"...
...

So I changed my App to:

const App = () => {
  return (<>
    <Ekke hostname="192.168.56.103" port={5555} />
    <View>
      <Text>Ekke test</Text>
    </View>
  </>);
};

When I run test nothing happens again.
