Webpack server options not used to define entrypoints url

[gillesdalle]

Hello,

To configure the webpack dev-server, I use the configureDevServerOptions method in the webpack.config.js file :

Encore.
  .configureDevServerOptions((options) => {
    options.server = {
      type: "https",
      options: {
        key: ".....",
        cert: "....."
      },
    };
    options.host = "0.0.0.0";
    options.port = "3000";
    options.hot = true;
    options.allowedHosts = "all";
  })
  ......

The probleme is that in the generated entrypoints.json file, all urls start with http://localhost:8080/build/.
The server configuration options are not used

If I use the cli params, urls in the entrpoints file are OK :

encore dev-server --host 0.0.0.0 --port 3000
# => urls in entrypoinys.json start with 'http://0.0.0.0:3000/'

Is this a bug or have i missing something ?

Thanks

Hmm, that's a good question. The intended way to set the host or port is via the command-line options. We intercept those and use them in other places (like figuring out the paths for the entrypoints). What we don't do is read the dev server options that you've set (e.g. options.host) and then use those later.

We could do this. But for simplicity, I'd rather people pass them as command line args. If you don't want to pass them every time you run the command (I don't blame you), I'd leverage scripts inside of package.json - e.g. https://symfony.com/doc/current/frontend/encore/virtual-machine.html#allow-external-access

Cheers!

this breaks wbpack configs with multiple builds if you want to use the dev-server...
