XM Cloud - Reference environment configuration 'xmcloudlocal' doesn't exist

Hi Team,

Recently, I have been setting up XM Cloud instance in my local and sending some changes back to XM Cloud, and for that i needed to do serialization of the content from cloud to local and than local to push into XM Cloud.

Because i was using the documentation given on

Walkthrough: Setting up your full-stack XM Cloud local development environment (sitecore.com)

Because if you are like me, you just follow the steps first to see how things work, in one of those steps, i encountered below exception

Error

Reference environment configuration 'xmcloudlocal' doesn't exist"

With my surprise, because i am following the documentation steps, so it should just work, i double checked that i have not missed any steps, The site documentation was mentioning below

I double checked my user.json file to see if i have this ref value as "xmcloudlocal" available or not, and with my surprise, it was not there, but i had entry with ref "xmcloud", so i change my above command to below

dotnet sitecore connect --ref xmcloud --cm https://xmcloudcm.localhost --allow-write true -n local

and command just worked, to double check this behavior i created a Sitecore ticket asking them if the documentation needs to be updated? Because clearly everyone will get same error if they follow it, and they acknowledged the behavior and reproduced on their end and promised to send a documentation change request at their end

I hope this will be corrected soon.

An error occurred while receiving the HTTP response to This could be due to the service endpoint binding not using the HTTP protocol. This could also be due to an HTTP request context being aborted by the server (possibly due to the service shutting down). See server logs for more details.

You have noticed many times that everything was working fine and suddenly the below error starts coming and you find no way to work it out An error occurred while receiving the HTTP response to This could be due to the service endpoint binding not using the HTTP protocol. This could also be due to an HTTP request context being aborted by the server (possibly due to the service shutting down). See server logs for more details. The reason for this is the receiving size of WCF service is smaller then the data which is coming from service It was working before because it was small,So you will have to try to increase the receiving setting in your end point,Possible settings can be following maxStringContentLength="2147483647" maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647" maxBufferSize="2147483647" maxArrayLength="2147483647" That would definately help you!!!

Set up leprechaun code generation with Sitecore XM Cloud Starterkit

Hi Sitecorians, It has been amazing learning year so far and with the change in technology and shift of the focus on frontend frameworks and composable products, it has been market demand to keep learning and exploring new things. Reasons behind this blog Today's topic is something that was in my draft from April-May, and I always thought that there is already a good documentation out there for Leprechaun and a blog post is not needed, Until I realized that there was so many of us facing same kind of issues and same kind of problems and spending same amount of time, That is where I thought, if I could write something which can reduce that repetitive troubleshooting time, That would really help the community. 1) In a project environment, if we get into some configuration issues, we resolve them, we make sure we are not blocked and continue, but if you think same issue, same step and same scenario will come to other people, so if we can draft it online, it will help other people 2
