Lost access to bob.exe sessions

Folks,

I hope someone may be able to assist or even suggest how to debug this?

In the last month or so I have lost access to two bob.exe instances. On starting BobWin.exe on Windows11 it see the following;

Warning: Cannot find plugin 'OokTech/TWederBob'
NodeSettings - Parsed raw settings.
TiddlyWiki version 5.2.3 with Bob version 1.7.3b1
Bob saver server running on 127.0.0.1:61192
  • So I do not get to see the IP address the server should be at

A freshly installed instance does the same

  • The setting.json file that results is as follows
{
  "wikis": {},
  "ws-server": {
    "host": "0.0.0.0"
  },
  "suppressBrowser": false
}
  • I changed suppressBrowser to false to see if it would open in the browser
  • I have used the ip address:8080, 127.0.0.1:8080 and other combinations with no luck
  • Turned off the Windows defender firewall, no luck

I am concerned with;

  • Accessing my wikis inside bob instances
  • using bob in an ongoing way

Bump, Bob is an important aspect of tiddlywiki and I would hope I could attract more attention on this one. Has anyone else observed a problem on Windows 11?
