Reactotron: set reactotron default host without using code

[rady-ben]

I install reactotron on my Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS, I am using
"react-native": "0.58.5"
"reactotron-react-native": "2.2.0"
the first time when reactotron didn't connect to my react native application with this configuration.

const reactotron = Reactotron.configure().useReactNative().connect()

I looked for solution on and I found that I have to add my IP address like this

const reactotron = Reactotron.configure({ host: My_IP_Adress' }).useReactNative().connect()

it work but the problem is that I am working with a team so I have to modify the _reactotron.config.js_ before any push and it annoying me so I am looking for solution without updating my _reactotron.config.js_ .
someone can help
thank you

Is this a simulator or real device?

With simulator/emulator, you should be able to just set host to 127.0.0.1, though I suppose we could add that as a fallback if no host is provided.

@kevinvangelder thank u doesn't work.
I found an other solution, just run adb reverse tcp:9090 tcp:9090 on the terminal and it work

@rady-ben Correct me if I'm wrong, but it sounds like Reactotron does correctly connect to localhost when no host is provided, you just have to follow the normal process of running adb reverse tcp:9090 tcp:9090 in order for it to connect.

While this isn't ideal, it is the currently expected behavior. Please note you will need to rerun that command any time you restart your emulator or reconnect a physical device.
