HTML second build fails

Help
#1

Hi, I’ve got a weird problem : I’m building this project for HTML and everything runs fine the first launch. When i build a second time without touching anything, i get the following error log, stopping execution :

events.js:72
throw er; // Unhandled ‘error’ event
^

… any ideas? The workaround I have for now is… rebooting the computer each and every time! ( gasp )

You can only have 1 instance running.
Because each start, it uses Port 3000, the 2nd time that fails because the port is already taken.
Just stop the first. (How depends on your IDE)

Thanks, I don’t see how it’s an IDE thing though ( I’m using Sublime )? Shouldn’t it be some OpenFL command to stop the process and close the port?

#4

Are you using Windows?
if so, try opening an administrative command prompt and enter:
taskkill /F /IM node.exe

#5

I’m using OS X, but I certainly can do something similar

#6

The command to use in the Terminal is Ctrl + C.

You can also openfl run html5 in one window, then openfl build html5 in another when changes are made
