Getting this Error on `wails dev`: "Error: failed to find Vite server URL" and dev windows not opening
Description
I've been getting this error for the last few days. It used to be fine and would open a new window that would instantly show the changes I made in the frontend. But now when I run wails dev, it throws the following error:
DEB | Using go webview2loader
Wails CLI v2.6.0
Executing: go mod tidy
• Installing frontend dependencies: Done.
• Compiling frontend: Done.
ERROR failed to find Vite server URL
To Reproduce
wails dev
Expected behaviour
It should open a windows (just like before) and should reflect any changes I made to the frontend.

Attempted Fixes
- I looked up the issue and saw that someone had suggested changing the
frontend:dev:serverUrland I changed"frontend:dev:serverUrl": "auto"in the wails.json file to a localhost url but it still didn't work. (This issue and the suggested solutions didn't work either: https://github.com/wailsapp/wails/issues/1611) - I reinstalled Vite and wails and started from scratch... but to no avail

If you run Vite outside of Wails what url does it listen on?
In the frontend dir in the wails app, the url is http://localhost:5173/
cd frontend using npm run dev is normal.
Yes, but why isn't wails dev throwing that error? I want to get the wails dev command to work but I don't know why it's causing that issue.
