I'm trying to test an app locally in my browser, however when I run zat server it starts and then immediately stops. I followed the instructions here: https://developer.zendesk.com/documentation/apps/zendesk-app-tools-zat/installing-and-using-the-zendesk-apps-tools/

This is the output:

== Sinatra (v1.4.8) has taken the stage on 4567 for development with backup from Thin

/Library/Ruby/Gems/2.6.0/gems/thin-1.8.1/lib/thin/backends/tcp_server.rb:18:in `unpack_sockaddr_in': no implicit conversion of nil into String (TypeError)

My file path does not contain any spaces or special characters.

    Hi @julie17,

    Thanks for reaching out!

    Can you confirm what operating system you're currently running? There are some known issues that could be causing errors depending on your OS.

    Look forward to hearing from you!

    Hi Julie,
     
    Apologies for the delay in getting back to you, I'd somehow missed your reply here!
     
    If you're still encountering issues with ZAT server, I'd encourage you to try the new Zendesk command line which will be replacing ZAT as the preferred CLI for building and testing Zendesk Apps. ZAT is now in maintenance mode which means it won't be receiveing new feature updates or non-security related bug fixes. ZCLI is also much easier to set up and get started with; here's a link to help you get started:

    Let me know if you have any questions!
