Editor stuck in infinite(?) loop

App Building
1

I'm not sure what I did, but now the editor UI is frozen when I try to edit my app, or it crashes with this error message below. It was working less than an hour ago, and I'm not sure what's changed.

How can I break the loop or get back to a previous version of the app?

Something went wrong.

Hey @threecee! Happy to help with this.

Do you see this error immediately on page load, or after some time? Are you able to access the Releases and History section of your app? If so, do you see any recent changes that may have introduced something like an infinite loop?

If not, maybe we can use the _historyOffset parameter at the end of your URL, e.g. ?_historyOffset=5.This will allow you to "travel back in time" 5 steps. You can increase the number to go further back in time if you still don't see any app data. The idea here is to go back to the most recent working version so you don't have to redo as much work (going back 1000 steps would likely show data, but it could be many, many changes behind).

***WARNING!*** If you make any changes to the canvas when traveling back in time, that past version will become your present version and it messes with the history, so be careful not to touch anything! Once you find a version that isn't crashing and you'd like to make that your present version, then you can make an edit to the canvas (move a component, add a component, etc) to persist that view.
