I have my test extension in the “Hosted Test” section.
I am getting this error "Refused to connect to ‘https://localhost:3000/question’ because it violates the following Content Security Policy directive: “connect-src ‘self’”
It seems that the backend.js is a server that has to be lifted to listen to the port 3000 and listen to the url /question (https://localhost:3000/question),in my local environment I understand that but how do the do it on the “Hosted Test”
First off you need to make sure you’ve added the domain to the CSP AllowList in the Capabilities section of your Extension Dashbaord, this allows you to add domains that your Extension will be making requests too
Secondly, hosting an EBS is the same in Hosted Test as it is in Local Test, as Twitch only host the frontend content and you are entirely responsible for hosting the backend yourself. So for testing you can run the backend from localhost:3000, but in production you would need to have a server that’s publicly accessible so that other users can send reach it.
Correct, Twitch only host static frontend content, so you can’t run a database or anything like that on Twitch’s side. Twitch do provide an Extension Configuration Service, which lets you store a few KB of public data, but that’s pretty much it for storing data, if you need a proper database or anything like that then yes you have to handle all of that yourself and make sure it meets the Extension guidelines (such as all requests from your Extension to your server has to be over HTTPS, or WSS, has to have valid certs, etc…)
