Netlify dev Error

[minheinkhant]

I want to use redirects in gatsby. I installed netlify-cli and added netlify.toml file in the root folder.

In netlify-toml file
[[redirects]]
from = “/search/*”
to = “/search”
status = 200

When I run netlify dev, I’ve got this following errors.
Warnings while parsing netlify.toml file:

I removed [[redirects]] and it’s working.

hmm, that is a little frustrating.

I would suggest you take a look at the issues here: https://github.com/netlify/cli

and see if there is anything that might already exist that documents this? If not, you could file an issue there so we can take a closer look.

[jonsully]

Well that’s new. Which version of Netlify CLI are you running? And would you mind sharing the rest of your netlify.toml file if possible?

I removed [[redirects]] and it’s working. So I added [[redirects]] again to test it and it’s working. I am new to this. I am sorry I cannot provide any informative data. Thanks.

[SimonVanherweghe]

I can confirm this issue.
Now running: netlify-cli/2.48.0 darwin-x64 node-v13.11.0

By removing the redirects the issue is gone. With the previous netlify-cli version (sorry, I don’t know which version I was on) this wasn’t the case.

[build] 
  functions = "src/functions/"

[dev]
  command = "gatsby develop"
  port = 3000

[[redirects]]
  from = "/post"
  to = "/.netlify/functions/post"
  status = 200

[[redirects]]
  from = "/vuistje/*"
  to = "/show?id=:splat"
  status = 302

I’m also facing the same issue and the same error as minheinkhant, I recently installed the netlify-cli (current tags 2.48.0) but the error still persist even i remove the [[redirects]] and added it back. Please consult. Thanks

[samajammin]

Getting this same issue. Removing the [[redirects]] seem to have solved it.

Env info:

$ netlify --version
netlify-cli/2.48.0 darwin-x64 node-v10.19.0

Any assistance appreciated!

@samajammin, @minheinkhant Thank you reporting this problem. We’ve just released a new version that contains a fix for this problem. Please upgrade to latest version npm i -g netlify-cli@latest and let us know if it is still an issue.

@raeesbhatti just updated to netlify-cli/2.49.0 win32-x64 node-v10.16.3 and found that I am still getting a TypeError from rules-proxy.js when I include [[redirects]] in my netlify.toml file.

[raeesbhatti]

@Whatttooo is it possible for you to share your netlify.toml file. Please share the output of netlify version --verbose as well.

Same here — still getting the error.

[raeesbhatti]

This was hard to reproduce but I was able to track it down. The error is coming from a dependency which has been patched. There’s a PR to upgrade the dependencies in netlify-cli.

Fix redirect parsing issues

It might be worth trying to install netlify-cli globally again using npm i -g netlify-cli@latest, since we’re using ^ dependencies, npm should pick up the new versions. If it doesn’t work, please hold on until we release a new version. I’ll upgrade this thread when we do.

[nwrichmond]

I’m confirming that after installing netlify-cli@2.49.0, the issue is resolved for me. I’m able to start my project with netlify dev with:

[[redirects]]
  from = "/api/*"
  to = "/.netlify/functions/:splat"
  status = 200

in netlify.toml, without the TypeError: Cannot convert object to primitive value error that was reported earlier. Thanks for taking quick action on this!

[perry]

thanks for letting us know!

[raeesbhatti]

netlify-cli@2.50 has just been released which contains fix for this issue. Thank you all for your patience!

[nurhanna]

Thanks a lot! Already installed and tested it, issue solved

[Whatttooo]

Installed and tested too! Thank you @raeesbhatti

[samajammin]

Thanks @raeesbhatti - I installed netlify-cli@2.50 & running netlify dev now works with no errors, but my redirects no longer appear to be working:

You can see my full netlify.toml file posted above - hitting /application.html should redirect to /project/ :

[[redirects]]
  from = "/application.html"
  to = "/project/"
