I found a simple workaround.

Simply add ?preview_theme_id=xxx behind your url

For anyone wanting to quickly find their theme id, it is shown in your terminal when starting theme dev:

[1] http://127.0.0.1:9292 [2] https://shop-id.myshopify.com/admin/themes/1234567890/editor [3] https://shop-id.myshopify.com/?preview_theme_id=1234567890

In the above example, your theme ID is 1234567890 and you should run http://127.0.0.1:9292?preview_theme_id=1234567890 to make the local preview work again.

Thank you, everyone, for reporting this issue and contributing with details!

The release 3.59.2 has resolved issues involving the live preview and the development server.

To date, the team has mitigated all use cases that could be isolated based on the details we have today, but the intermittent reports suggest there might still be a problem. We’d like to avoid ambiguity and ensure all issues involving the live theme and the shopify theme dev command are fixed for everyone.

The intermittent nature of some reports makes this process challenging. Thus, please, if you notice any issue with the preview of the development involving the live, share a screenshot of the problem including the --verbose output with us (feel free to send it directly to me if you don’t want to share here: guilherme.carreiro@shopify.com). With that, we can reproduce the exact scenario you’re facing with the latest version of Shopify CLI.

Thanks again, everyone, for the details and for following this up.

I’ve upgraded too and it’s still not working for me without the preview_theme_id trick.

In my experience Shopify theme dev command has been unreliable for the past month even though they did multiple release to adress this issue.

👋 Hey folks,

This issue should be fixed in Shopify CLI 3.56.3. If you’re still facing this issue, could you please do the following?

  • Run shopify theme dev --verbose
  • Open the localhost URL
  • Share the logs here, if the localhost URL preview shows your live theme

Some changes on the platform generated this issue in the CLI and we’re currently working around that at the CLI level as we can’t rollback those changes. If version 3.56.3 is not working, it might reveal a different problem that needs to be fixed.

Thank you for reporting this and for providing all the details.

This just started happening for me this morning with 3.59.1, and has continued after updating to 3.59.2. It happens after a reload. The initial load shows the correct theme. Using homebrew-installed global Shopify CLI.

Here’s the verbose output, the reload is towards the end of the log:

@karreiro happy to send an unredacted one if this is not helpful.

Hi @karreiro,

since v3.59.2 it’s actually more broken then it ever was. Whenever we save a file and hot reload kicks in, it will automatically go back to one of the live themes…

Seen this at a colleague, so I will try to post a verbose asap.

Update It only happens when you have installed it through npm

@bogdanoasa what has worked for me is deleting the temp dev theme and then starting up again

shopify theme dev -d (it will ask you to confirm first)

For what it’s worth I ran into this issue this morning and updating Shopify CLI to v3.59.1 resolved my issue.

happy for you. I hope it lasts

I upgraded to 3.59.1 yesterday, shopify auth logout, logged back in, all good

imagine my surprise this morning when I started up theme dev only to see the same bug again

for sure. sounds like there was a platform change that caused this issue initially, they tried to apply a fix, then shopify rolled out the ‘unified CLI’ and a lot of us started experiencing these issues again

I have sympathy for the team - I’m sure there is a good amount of “merge hell” going on. they mentioned they also had to migrate from ruby to ts for the unified cli. a lot going on all at once

however I would say 90% of all use of the CLI is shopify theme dev. saying this as someone who spends a lot of time in both app dev and theme dev. it’s a critical piece of the CLI and it sucks to log in to work every day and constantly have to re start the cli to see your preview environment before it reverts back to prod randomly

had same issue, upgraded my shopify cli via homebrew to v3.58.2 and everything work’s smoothly!

I have the same error too. It seems that this happened after updating to CLI version - 3.56.2. It worked fine on version - 3.56.1

It did happen on a 3.55.x as well. And somehow this issue is not always occuring…
