Please help.

Hi @kanika_kapoor,

It seems recent NodeJS versions no longer resolve localhost to 127.0.0.1, and the Node development Server can therefore no longer reach the JSON API, resulting in that error message.

The solution is fairly easy: change the localhost string directly to 127.0.0.1 in the ui/package.json and ui/src/setupProxy.js files (one occurrence in each).

I’ll make sure this fix makes it into the next Daml release.
