popcorn-time-desktop: Development Issue : Not able to fetch torrents while using development build

@amilajack Hey, I got the App’s src files and npm packages and modified some source code and finally did

npm run dev

and was trying to watch a movie. But all it said was “Fetching torrents”. Later, I discarded all my changes and tried it all again and still wasn’t able to get the torrents loaded.

I was confused, and then I deleted everything and got all the src files again from scratch and redid everything. Still wasn’t able to load the torrents. Finally to be sure, I packaged the App using

npm run package

and it packaged the App in the releases directory and when I run the packaged App, I am able to fetch the torrents and the “Start 720p” and other buttons get enabled. I am pretty confused now.

What have I done wrong ? Is it something about the .env file ? But I just copied it from the .env.example file and never changed it. And I think it looks fine.

And when I do API tests using npm run test-api, a lot of tests are failing, including “getting torrents and their magnets for 720p and 1080p” test. I am attaching the images of the test over here.
