I am currently using the netlify adapter, but I need to see a preview locally for testing purposes. What configuration changes do I need to make to have preview become available locally?

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

To preview your Astro project locally using the Netlify adapter, you need to make sure you have the correct configuration in your astro.config.mjs and package.json files.

First, ensure that your astro.config.mjs file is set up correctly. Here's an example of how it should look:

import { defineConfig } from 'astro/config';
import netlify from '@astrojs/netlify/functions';

export default defineConfig({
  output: 'server',
  adapter: netlify(),
});

(Source: Astro Documentation (https://docs.astro.build/en/guides/integrations-guide/netlify/))

Next, you need to update your package.json file to include a preview script. Unfortunately, the extracts provided do not include specific instructions for setting up a preview script with the Netlify adapter.

However, as of Astro 1.5.0, the astro preview command works for SSR builds if you use an adapter that supports it. Currently, only the Node adapter is mentioned to support astro preview in the provided extracts.

{
  "scripts": {
    "dev": "astro dev",
    "start": "astro dev",
    "build": "astro build",
    "preview": "astro preview"
  }
}

(Source: Astro Documentation (https://docs.astro.build/en/reference/cli-reference/))

After setting up these configurations, you can run npm run preview in your terminal to start a local server and preview your build.

Please note that the astro preview command is designed for local testing and not for production use. For deploying your Astro project, refer to the Astro Deployment Guide (https://docs.astro.build/en/guides/deploy/).

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:

The error message you're seeing indicates that the Netlify adapter you're using does not currently support the astro preview command. As per the information provided in the extracts, as of Astro 1.5.0, the astro preview command works for SSR builds if you use an adapter that supports it. However, currently, only the Node adapter is mentioned to support astro preview in the provided extracts.

export default function() {
 return {
 name: '@astrojs/node',
 hooks: {
 'astro:config:done': ({ setAdapter, config }) => {
 setAdapter({
 name: '@astrojs/node',
 serverEntrypoint: '@astrojs/node/server.js',
+ previewEntrypoint: '@astrojs/node/preview.js',
 exports: ['handler'],
 });

 // more here
 }
 }
 };
}

Unfortunately, there's no information in the provided extracts about the Netlify adapter supporting the astro preview command. You might need to switch to an adapter that supports this feature, like the Node adapter, or check the latest Astro documentation or the adapter's documentation for updates on this feature.
