Troubleshooting

No colors in the console

process.env.NO_COLOR = undefined;
process.env.FORCE_COLOR = "1";

createProxyPlugin({
  logger: {
    colorful: false // set to false if you actually want to disable colors
  }
});

Proxy not working

1. Make sure enabled is true.
2. If devOnly: true, ensure you are running vite dev.
3. Check that env matches an entry in targets.
4. Verify the upstream server is reachable (curl it, inspect packets, etc.).

Too many logs

createProxyPlugin({
  logger: {
    level: LogLevel.ERROR
  },
  requestFilter: (url) => url.includes("/critical/api/"),
  responseFilter: (_, __, status) => status >= 500
});

Verbose logs impacting performance

1. Set level to INFO or WARN.
2. Use maxBodyLength, maxWsMessageLength, maxSseMessageLength.
3. Enable devOnly: true for production builds.

createProxyPlugin({
  logger: {
    level: LogLevel.ERROR,
    colorful: false,
    showRequestHeaders: false,
    showRequestBody: false,
    showResponseHeaders: false,
    showResponseBody: false
  },
  devOnly: true
});

No WebSocket / SSE logs

Check that:

• The webSocket / sse blocks are enabled for the target.
• logger.showWsMessages / showSseMessages are true.
• webSocketFilter is not filtering out the path.
