Same problem

Looking into this...

for the record the error message you're probably supposed to see is:

You are not authorized to edit themes on [ STORE ].
Make sure you are a user of that store, and allowed to edit themes.

[owenmcateer]

I can confirm I have full access to edit the store and theme.

• Tip from Themes Getting started docs. It helps me "
• You can't use Shopify CLI with development stores if you only have Partner staff member access. If you want to use Shopify CLI to work on a development store, then you should be the store owner or create a staff account on the store.

If you're the store owner, then you need to log in to the store directly using the store URL at least once (for example, using {shop}.myshopify.com/admin) before you log in using Shopify CLI. Logging in to the Shopify admin directly connects the development store with your Shopify login.

Same issue. I'm the store owner and have logged into the CMS of the store.

/opt/homebrew/Cellar/shopify-cli/2.11.2/gems/shopify-cli-2.11.2/lib/shopify_cli/theme/dev_server.rb:83:in rescue in start': undefined method shop' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)

Creating a staff member with a different email address solved it for me.

I have the same problem, but I create a staff member with a different email address as above, however this is a workaround, it's not solved!

What worked for me was:

1. Log out of your shopify account in the browser
2. Log in to {shop}.myshopify.com/admin
3. Then log in through shopify CLI "shopify login --store {shop}.myshopify.com/admin"

For some reason I had to repeat all the steps above couple of times

[vhtellez]

What worked for me:

1. Command "shopify logout"
2. Command "shopify login --store=STORE"
3. Command "shopify theme serve"

For my case, I had to downgrade shopify-cli.

gem uninstall shopify-cli

gem install shopify-cli -v 2.7.4

Nope still broken, not resolved

[karreiro]

Thanks for reporting it, @BryanCastro. Could you please share the stack trace you're facing and the Shopify CLI version?

[CrawlingMango]

What worked for me:

1. Command "shopify logout"
2. Command "shopify login --store=STORE"
3. Command "shopify theme serve"

worked for me, I tried to run "shopify login" without logging out my other shopify account

[Mihai-github]

Hi, in my case specifying the exact store I'm trying to login helped:
shopify login --store=yourstore.myshopify.com

For example, if you have already logged into your account and it is not working you can try this:

Command "shopify logout"
Command "shopify login --store=yourstore.myshopify.com"
Command "shopify theme serve"
