I'm following along with Discover Sitecore's "Build Your First JSS App" video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNQGsr9_34A) and was only 2:10 in when I ran into my first issue.
All I've done so far was install jss globally using the command
npm install -g @sitecore-jss/sitecore-jss-cli
and then I created a new jss app using this command
npm init sitecore-jss react
After cd to the new directory, I attempted to execute the command jss start when I got the errors indicated.

> npm run start --

> [email protected] start
> cross-env-shell JSS_MODE=disconnected "npm-run-all --serial bootstrap --parallel start:react start:proxy start:watch-components"


> [email protected] bootstrap
> cross-env-shell FETCH_WITH=GraphQL "node scripts/bootstrap.js"

When you run this command npm init sitecore-jss react it ask some option one of them is How would you like to fetch Layout and Dictionary data? it have two types (GraphQL and Rest) as shown in below screenshot.

enter image description here

Please select Rest then it will start working because i think GraphQL doesn't supports in disconnected mode.

I tried it and it's started working, please see below screenshot

  • This did resolve the error so I will mark this as the answer, thank you. Do you have any info on how I would switch to connected mode with GraphQL?

  • Switching to GraphQL is now as simple as setting FETCH_WITH environment variable (used to be changing dictionary-service-factory.js and layout-service-factory.js). To switching to connected mode you just have to run jss setup and then jss start:connected. Switch between REST and GraphQL

Instead of executing npm init sitecore-jss react we can update the FETCH_WITH parameter in .env file because in Next.js Dictionary and Layout service factory have made an easy way to switch from disconnected to connected mode.

After that, when you will run jss start, your jss site will be up and running locally in disconnected mode.

  • Yes, this switching is definitely a better way than re-initializing a project
