Application Detection Issues

Solutions to application detection problems with TestSprite MCP Server.

“Application not accessible” Error

If you experience issues where TestSprite can’t access your running application, please follow the solution below:

1. Diagnostic checks

   Check if application is running

   curl http://localhost:3000
   curl http://localhost:8000
   

   Check which ports are in use

   lsof -i :3000
   lsof -i :8000
   

   Check firewall settings (Linux)

   sudo ufw status
   

   For macOS: Go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Firewall to check firewall settings.
2. Ensure application is running

   Frontend Applications

   npm start
   npm run dev
   yarn dev
   

   Backend Applications

   npm run server
   python app.py
   node server.js
   
3. Check port configuration

   Find actual port

   netstat -tulpn | grep LISTEN
   

   Update bootstrap call

   testsprite_bootstrap_tests ({
     localPort: 3000,  // Use actual port
     type: "frontend",
     projectPath: "/path/to/project",
     testScope: "codebase"
   })
   
4. Check for port conflicts

   Kill conflicting processes

   lsof -ti:3000 | xargs kill -9
   

   Use different port

   PORT=3001 npm start
