Project stuck or showing spinner

If your project shows an endless spinner or won't run, here are several ways to fix it.

Common reasons why code doesn't run

1. Check for errors in console

Open the CONSOLE panel and check for error messages. Fix any errors in your code first.

2. Problematic packages

Some NPM packages might be broken or don't work properly with PlayCode. Try removing recently added packages and restarting.

3. Perform a Hard Reset

This is the most reliable solution:

1. Click the Stop button (square icon) at the top right.
2. Click the Reload button (circular arrow icon) next to it.

This performs a Hard Reset, deleting the cache and rerunning the bundler from scratch.

Still not working?

Try these additional steps:

• Reload the browser page (F5 or Cmd+R)
• Clear your browser cache
• Try opening the project in an incognito/private window
• Check if the issue persists in a different browser
