Followed the instructions to run it locally, found a bug, you can't send a http get request without a body, then tried to make the field not required and run again, that's when I realized that the docker compose file doesn't actually run the local code, it just pulls from published images.

I see there is a docker-compose.dev file, but there aren't any instructions on actually getting local development to work, should add those.

Thank you for your feedback. We will improve our HTTP request in response to your query.

Our preferred method for setting up local development is through the use of a VSCode dev container, which can be found at https://www.activepieces.com/docs/contributing/local-develop....

Currently, we have not documented our use of docker-compose.dev as we are still testing it for compatibility with various systems, such as ARM-based machines like the M1 MacBook, which have encountered issues with docker-compose.dev.

However, if you prefer using docker-compose.dev over VSCode dev containers, you can run npm ci followed by running docker-compose.dev.

I hope you have a smooth experience with activepieces. If you encounter any issues, our team is available and responsive on Discord.
