The testcafé is unable to interact with the local zat server (zendesk-app-tools)

I'm creating a test suite for our Zendesk apps, and testcafe works ok in our settings but not with a local zat server. When a developer wishes to test a change, they will create and run the app within a zat server, which will communicate with the Zendesk instance selected, and when?zat=true is attached to the URL, the local app modifications will be loaded. The updates do not appear to load in Testcafe, and there is no contact with the zat server. Pull requests must include a zat server to test changes before they are merged with other environments. I realise this is a very unique issue, however

      Hi Callum! One possible option here would be to upload this as a private app to your Zendesk instance and then use ZAT to push the updates through. It's obviously less convenient than having the local server, but it would at least allow you to continue using your test suite. From our perspective, I don't think that there would be anything that we could do to assist in making this work via TestCafe, but if you have any specific things that could be the cause on our end, let us know!
