        scopes: new scopes_1.AuthScopes([]),
        hostName: 'https://partners.shopify.com/xxxxx/stores',

        isEmbeddedApp: true,

    I had the same error using npm run dev as suggested by the Shopify docs.

    I resolved the issue by using the Shopify CLI. To start the dev server you can use the command npm run shopify app dev

    I had a this issue when attempting npm run serve (the default command for production environment with their Docker configuration). In my case, the .env was missing a HOST field.

    Shopify Docs say HOST is required. This was tricky to diagnose because:

    1. Shopify doesn’t create a HOST field in the env by default
    2. Shopify doesn’t parse/validate the ENV up front
    3. Shopify’s error message directs developer to a node_modules file
    4. Shopify renames HOST to hostName in their code
