The issue might be that port 3000 on your local machine is being used by another program, such as Grafana. This is what happened in my case.

I don't have anything else running. One week ago I got this error only sometimes. But since that I always got this error. So impossible to run application in "Dev" mode

It was the PORT 3000 that was already used ! Thanks :)
Will be nice to add different port on the ENV / also say in the console if we would like to open using another port (like npm run dev on react project)

The dev server should already start in a different port if 3000 is in use. However, there might be a bug in the way MiniOxygen communicates with the Vite server when there are more than 1 Vite servers up (e.g. 3000 and 3001). Leaving this open for now while we try to reproduce it.

what's the status on this bug? I'm following this getting started guide https://shopify.dev/docs/storefronts/headless/hydrogen/getting-started# and I'm failing with this error on step 2.

Doesn't seem to bode well for a framework if the getting started workflow doesn't work.

Make sure you port 3000 is available ;)

I did have a phantom process running on 3000, so freeing this port fixed my issue. However, why is hydrogen not able to choose another port?
