IDE Won't Load — Troubleshooting Guide

? IDE Loading Issues

If your GoCodeMe IDE shows "Starting up..." or won't load, follow these steps.

Common Causes & Fixes

❌ "No active session on this port"

Cause: Your session expired or was reaped by the idle timer. Fix: Go back to your dashboard and click "Launch IDE" to start a fresh session.

❌ "ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:4000"

Cause: The Theia process on that port isn't running. Fix: Wait 30 seconds for auto-retry, or relaunch from dashboard.

❌ Infinite loading spinner

Cause: The IDE container is still starting. Fix: Wait up to 2 minutes. The page auto-retries every 2 seconds.

❌ 429 Too Many Requests

Cause: Rate limit exceeded (180 req/min). Fix: Wait 60 seconds and try again. This protects the platform from overload.
