Multiple Office.js Addins with `yo office`? - excel

Question

I created an Office.js addin successfully using these steps.
On Mac Sierra, Excel 2016 version 15.31 (170216)
Then i created another addin using the same method, but gave it a different name and folder. Also gave it's manifest a new GUID.
I sideloaded both, using wef folder.
Now, when i open Excel, i see both addins listed by their unique names in the Insert ribbon, but their task panes both display the same name (the first addin). How to fix?
Also, seems even if i stop the first web server, i still see both addins listed on Insert ribbon. How to fix?

Answer 1

Fix: To configure two proxy servers in browsersync bsconfig.json
add "port": port_number_1 and "port": port_number_2 to your bsconfig.json in two projects.
Make sure to change elements in your manifest file to use the correct port you added in bsconfig. e.g. iconUrl, image defaultvalue etc.
Note that your add-ins will always show up on 'Insert' ribbon under 'My Add-ins' regardless if web server is started or not. It reflects manifest files added to wef folder.
