Working on a theme locally

    When I preview my theme via $zat theme preview and paste the /start link in my Chrome URL, I receive a 'blocked by CORS policy' error in the console. The origin is my own subdomain URL as expected, and it attempts to fetch at *myMappedDomain*/hc/activity. , which is a URL that throws a 404 error so as far as I can tell, the theme loads trying to fetch data from a page that doesnt exist. This is not part of our code in the templates.

    I did allow for mixed contents to be loaded as per a this article, but there is no mention specifically about the CORS issue.

    While I do use ZAT Tools in this case the troubleshooting step of the Troubleshooting CORS article:

    As part of the Apps framework, a back-end proxy server is available via the client.request() call. Use this proxy by setting cors:false in the client.request's settings (note: false is also the setting's default value).

    does not help since I have the "special case" of previewing the Zendesk Theme which I downloaded from the Guide, there are no explicit client requests being made in the theme files .


    /thanks,

    Diego

    "Important: If you set up an integration with GitHub, making any modifications to your theme in Guide will break the GitHub integration."

    Is there any way to reverse this?

    Hi Miguel,
     
    As it turns out, the only method is to perform the integration again once it breaks.
