Theme

Expected behavior

When I run theme dev and follow the preview URL (http://127.0.0.1:9292), I expect to preview my development theme locally and for the CLI process to not exit.

Actual behavior

CLI exits after following error:

Theme ID mismatch: expected 172567462195 but got 173749109043.

Reproduction steps

1. Run shopify theme dev
2. Follow local preview link
3. Notice error in terminal

Operating System

macOS 14.6.1

Shopify CLI version (shopify --version)

@shopify/cli/3.71.4

Shell

zsh

Node version (run node -v if you're not sure)

v20.9.0

What language and version are you using in your application?

No response

[frandiox]

Hi 👋 can you try with 3.70.0 and let me know if it works with that version?
Also, are you using theme-kit-access? Perhaps you can update the issue with a full --verbose log so that we can see this kind of detail 🙏

---

@karreiro I remember we had this issue some months ago and it was related so some inadvertent change in SFR. Do you remember what you checked that time?

[marianneciara]

Hi @frandiox , yes it's still happening with 3.70.0 and I'm not using theme-kit-access – just previewing a clean copy of Dawn on my dev store, ultrafine-codepen.myshopify.com.

For context I uninstalled the CLI via Homebrew and reinstalled 3.70.0 via NPM this time. I also updated my node version in order to to that. Running shopify --version now returns the following: @shopify/cli/3.70.0 darwin-arm64 node-v22.12.0.

I added the verbose output above.

Let me know if you need any more info, thanks!

[xmadscientist]

Following.

[karreiro]

@karreiro I remember we had this issue some months ago and it was related so some inadvertent change in SFR. Do you remember what you checked that time?

Yes, I checked that, but given the nature of this issue and the request ID, this seems to be a bit different problem. Pinging you on Slack to share extra pointers.

[xmadscientist]

Any advancements on this issue? It's been tormenting me for some time now.

[MaxDesignFR]

Same, actually I can't use the CLI at all for a while now. For some reasons the CLI is requesting urls I don't even navigate too (could be an app), such as GET 200 /a/pwa/[myshopifyurl]/manifest 576ms and then I get the Theme ID mismatch. Before I used to be able to restart the command process, but now everytime it breaks.

[marianneciara]

I've just managed to get localhost working on the latest CLI version. I followed a bunch of steps but looking at them now I think what fixed it was installing an older version (3.63.0) before reinstalling more recent versions up until the latest one.

Here are the full steps just in case they hold any clues:

1. The first command I ran was rm -rf ~/.shopify-app-cli/ just in case (from the 2.x migration guide)
2. Then npm uninstall -g @shopify/cli
3. Then I installed the latest version of the CLI again (npm install -g @shopify/cli@latest) and it still wasn't working
4. Figured I should try older versions so I ran npm install -g @[email protected] and saw that localhost was now working
5. I then installed various versions (3.67.0, 3.69.3) until I realised even 3.70.0 was working this time, and then even the latest version was working

[jamesmengo]

@MaxDesignFR Could you open an issue for that behaviour please?

Might be a different issue (in combination of with the Theme ID mismatch) so I want to capture as much information as possible.

For anyone else facing this issue, can you please try:

• Verify that you don't have multiple installs from different package managers
• Clear legacy data rm -rf ~/.shopify-app-cli
• Clear any locally stored data rm -rf ~/Library/Preferences/shopify-cli-{development-theme-config,kit,theme-conf,theme-store-password}-nodejs

@xmadscientist can you let us know if these steps, or the steps @marianneciara tried work for you?

[xmadscientist]

@jamesmengo I did another thing which seemed to temporarily fix it.

1. Run shopify theme dev -e=...
2. Instead of directly going to the URL of the page I'm working on, I first go to 127.0.0.1:9292 (root)
3. Then I manually navigate to the page
4. Dev seems to work again

However, when running shopify theme dev -e=..., proceed to directly reloading the page that I'm working on, it immediately throws the theme ID mismatch error in the console (not even triggered from saving a file—it happens on the GET request). Every time!

I will try the steps above and see if reloading directly on the page that I'm working on works afterwards.

[xmadscientist]

@jamesmengo the steps that you posted seemed to do the trick!!!! 🥳
