Set capacitor's default server URL?

[yhu420]

Here is my configuration (hotspotdev.me is a hosts domain aliased to 127.0.0.1), for the devServer object in my quasar.conf.js:

devServer: {
      https: false,
      port: 8080,
      //host: 'hotspotdev.me'
}

I can access my dev server well in my local network. The capacitor app launches great, I can even edit my assets/capacitor.config.json to:

  "server": {
    "url": "http://hotspotdev.me:8080" // previously here: my local IP
  }

However, if I uncomment the host line, I can’t access the dev server from my local network.

devServer: {
      https: false,
      port: 8080,
      host: 'hotspotdev.me'
}

The capacitor config file is seems to use this host value for the capacitor.config.json's server.url value, thus it is already set to hotspotdev.me:8080. However, I can’t connect anymore (connection refused).

Is there a way to set a default server.url value for Capacitor, while not having to edit the host of my dev server? Is there another way to tackle this issue? Thank you.

Thank you for pointing this out. Since no solution exist yet, I’ll open a github issue about this. Thank you for your input.
