Is there anyway to prevent the convex window from opening up every time I run the app in dev?
Basically on every run dev command, the convex window opens up and fills up my tabs pretty quickly. Any way to prevent that window from opening up?

Could you elaborate on what's happening? What's the exact command that you're running?
From my experience the only time that the Convex site should open when running any CLI command is if it needs to authenticate your account. From that point on, running
npx convex dev doesn't need to open the site, as the credentials are stored locally.
You say it "fills up my tabs pretty quickly." How many tabs are opening? I've only ever seen a single tab open. Once the authentication is complete, you can close the tab.Every time I do "npm run dev", this window always pop up open. Even if I am signed in, it still keeps opening up tabs of the convex site
Basically if I kill the program and rerun the command, the site repeatedly opens up in a new tab.
What's the dev script from your
package.json file?
And just to check, are you using the standard cloud deployment, or are you trying to deploy locally?Standard cloud deployment and :
"scripts": {
"dev": "next dev",
"build": "next build",
"start": "next start",
"lint": "next lint"
},
Im using next.js
How are you launching Convex in dev mode?
npm run dev
with cloud deployment
That’s how you’re launching the app. I asked how you’re launching Convex.
Grep your codebase for "convex dashboard", you likely have a script inherited from a template somewhere that's running that command on dev.
