📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Added opt-in Netlify Server support for local development.
  • Server routes now support HTTP methods, request bodies, and WebSocket upgrades.
  • Static files and functions continue to take precedence where applicable.

• Bug Fixes

  • Server handling failures now return a clear HTTP 500 response.
  • Failed WebSocket handoffs are handled safely without disrupting fallback proxying.
  • Unsupported Node.js versions receive an appropriate error response.

Walkthrough

The development proxy now supports optional Netlify Server handling when the experimental server flag or site feature flag is enabled. It initializes and cleans up a ServerHandler, routes matching HTTP requests, handles WebSocket upgrades, and preserves existing routing for unmatched requests. The change adds dependencies, refines SiteInfo typing, and adds integration tests.

Merge Risk: 🔴 Critical · up to eaca5

The experimental server integration cannot pass the project’s typecheck and build until both constructor calls use the Fetch Request value.

Inline comments:
In `@src/utils/proxy.ts`:
- Line 866: Update both Request constructor usages in the server matching flow,
including the call associated with serverHandler.match, so they reference the
global Request value or use an alias for the type-only import from types.js.
Preserve the local Request type annotations while ensuring both new Request(...)
calls compile.
- Around line 891-896: Update the catch block in onRequest around
fromWebResponse so the 500 response is only written when res.headersSent is
false; otherwise avoid calling res.writeHead or res.end. Preserve the existing
error message selection and return behavior.
- Line 1116: Update the upgrade handling around serverHandler.handleUpgrade so
rejected upgrades are logged and do not return false or invoke proxy.ws with the
destroyed socket. Preserve ServerHandler ownership of failed upgrades and
prevent fallback proxy reuse after handleUpgrade errors.
