I am trying to follow this tutorial.
At 55:39 Ania is able to connect to her localhost:8888/.netlify port to see the records she has read from the graphql playground.
I am trying to do the same but cannot connect to the page. I have tried in both chrome and firefox and in both cases, I get a connection refused error message.
My firewall has permitted access for both chrome and firefox, and I even tried disabling the firewall. The error still returns.
I tried it without my vpn turned on.
I have logged into netlify (I have nothing on github yet, so it's just a local deployment).
Is there something special I need to do to be able to run local host with netlify?
The full text of the error message is:
This site can’t be reachedlocalhost refused to connect. Try:
Checking the connection Checking the proxy and the firewall ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED Check your Internet connection Check any cables and reboot any routers, modems or other network devices you may be using. Allow Chrome to access the network in your firewall or antivirus settings. If it is already listed as a program allowed to access the network, try removing it from the list and adding it again. If you use a proxy server… Check your proxy settings or contact your network administrator to make sure that the proxy server is working. If you don't believe you should be using a proxy server: Go to Applications > System Preferences > Network > Advanced > Proxies and deselect any proxies that have been selected.
In relation to #1, I am connected to the internet. I can run the local host on port 3000 and get the react app to load. it does not read anything from graphql. When I console log the datastax data from the react app, I get null as a result (where Ania gets the records created in the first hour of the tutorial).
In relation to #2, chrome and firefox are both added to my firewall
In relation to #3, no proxies are used - except the box to use FTP Mode PASV is checked. I tried unchecking it but it makes no difference.
I tried adding the local host 8888 url as a Bypass proxy settings for these Hosts & Domains in my system preferences - but it makes no difference.

ONE CLUE: I have cleaned my mac, I have cleared my cache (don't know why this would have worked since localhost 3000 loads the react app, but without the datastax data). A little box appears on my mac that says 'verifying AID.dylib'. I understand dylib means a shared database (maybe this some sort of Datastax reference? The process has been running almost 48 hours and the progress bar is at about 10%. Whatever that program is, it hasn't been verified. I wonder if this is why I can't load localhost:8888/.netifly in the same way that Ania can?
ANOTHER CLUE: I just found this post: https://github.com/netlify/cli/issues/3617 which suggests that Netlify can't read functions in v17. I don't know if that's still current. I'm currently stuck in my efforts to check if this is the source of the problem because my brew commands wont run in my terminal. I think this may be because of some incompatibility with the macOS Monteray upgrade that I just installed. I will update this post if I find a way to configure my computer to be able to follow a basic beginner's tutorial.
