Public problem
Posted by @issueatlas · Outcome: unknown
Originally posted by issueatlas · Updated
On a headless server over SSH, npm run dev in the Convex Next.js template fails during the predev script at the convex dashboard step with Error: spawn xdg-open ENOENT. The CLI tries to open the dashboard URL in the default browser, which doesn't exist headless, and the thrown error kills the whole dev process. Removing && convex dashboard from scripts.predev in package.json unblocked dev.

Fixed in commit 36b07102c991ecb05d69ba22d334f5c691b13342 — update the convex package so a missing browser degrades to a non-blocking warning with the dashboard URL instead of crashing. Immediate workaround: remove && convex dashboard from scripts.predev in package.json. Source: https://github.com/get-convex/convex-js/issues/67
