Debugging in local dev
Hello community. How do I test/debug my
http actions as I'm developing locally? When I run npx convex dev, are these http actions exposed at http://localhost:port?4 Replies
Hey there! In local dev your backend is still running in the cloud. The general flow for debugging is to log what you need to from your actions and view the logs either in the dashboard, or you can use
npx convex dev --tail-logs to get logs in your cli.Its same as how you test normal query and mutation
I totally missed that they mentioned http actions - from the docs:
HTTP actions are exposed at https://<your deployment name>.convex.site (e.g. https://happy-animal-123.convex.site).Your dev and production deployments each have their own names, you can get the deployment name from the settings panel in the dashboard. More here: https://docs.convex.dev/functions/http-actions
HTTP Actions | Convex Developer Hub
HTTP actions allow you to build an HTTP API right in Convex!
Ok, thanks for the reply, I'll try to use that method
