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.
