XLSX Converter: Save to File System does not save files

[Sphinx2071]

Save to File System returns 405 (method not allowed) when attempting to save updated formDef.json. This requires the user to manually save updated files or to run grunt xlsx-convert-all from the terminal to make changes to their forms.

I am unable to reproduce this error. @Sphinx2071 could you provide some more details (operating system, version info, any log messages in the console?)

[Sphinx2071]

Windows 11, version 23H2. ODK-X_ApplicationDesigner_v2.1.11.

I reproduced by adding changes to the exampleForm as described in the in the https://docs.odk-x.org/getting-started-2-architect/#modifying-an-odk-x-application. @r0ssing

Thanks for the clarification. I seems the dev server doesn't support POST for some reason.
Do you see any output in the powershell/cmd console (from where you executed the 'grunt' command)?

I get a warning about deprecated API when running grunt, but nothing new when attempting to save to file system.
