Test different hosts in locale environment

[izziaraffaele]

How do you test different host in development mode with this setup? Would be nice to add a URL param (like next is doing for i18n support) to switch from one host to the other

On macOS you can just use a subdomain to localhost e.g. http://a.localhost:3000/ http://b.localhost:3000/ or add domains to your /etc/hosts file.

I'm not sure about automated testing but the standard routes will be still be available. So if you are redirecting to /:host/page.js the path /my.host.com/page should work.

I'm not sure this will work with links in the page. For example, the href attribute will point to /page-2 and the :host parameter will be lost

Maybe next-page-tester could work, there is an example testing cookies so could this be modified to change the context.params?

I've just added cypress to the example there is an undocumented option to make *.localhost work in tests cypress-io/cypress#1488 (comment)

Awesome! Maybe we can add the following on the readme as well
