Hi @weak wave. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

It looks like you're experiencing a network connectivity issue when trying to run your Convex application. This is a common issue that can occur for various reasons when the Convex CLI can't establish a connection to the Convex cloud.

Based on the error message, the CLI is unable to connect to your deployment at <https://different-poodle-649.convex.cloud> with a "fetch failed" error. Here are some potential solutions:

Possible Solutions:

1. Check your internet connection
   Make sure you have a stable internet connection. Try accessing other websites to confirm your connectivity.

2. Network configuration issues
   Some users have reported issues with IPv4 vs IPv6 connectivity, especially when using mobile hotspots or certain network configurations. This could be causing the "fetch failed" error.

3. Try running a network test
   You can diagnose connectivity issues by running:

   npx convex network-test
   

   This will help identify if there are specific connectivity problems with your Convex deployment.

4. Node.js version compatibility
   If you're using a newer version of Node.js (like Node 22), try switching to Node 18, as some users have reported compatibility issues with local deployments on newer Node versions as mentioned in this Discord thread.

5. Firewall or VPN interference
   Check if you have any firewall settings or VPN that might be blocking the connection to Convex servers.

6. Wait and retry
   Sometimes these issues are temporary. Wait a few minutes and try running the command again.

If the issue persists, you might want to reach out to Convex support at [email protected] for more specific assistance with your deployment.

Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon:
