Oh no, something unexpected went wrong

When I try to restart, the circle indicating it's running just keep spinning forever.

I have tried logging out, shutting the browser, and restartied everything to no avail. Please advice

it is difficult to say exactly what is causing the issue, you need to contact the Codespace's support team

Hey @phidipedx, is this still happening? what is the codespace url on the browser?

Hi Gideon I was workin on it yesterday afternoon. I didn’t see the error message, but three or four times there were about 5 minute intervals where there was no contact to the webserver. It flashes a white background and then a black screen from the webserver. I have a hunch that a button to create a container reset would help. Cheers Niels Sent from Proton Mail for iOS

Sorry, forgot, the Url flashes to my server, then back to the url with the port 5000. Think it is a flask init problem Sent from Proton Mail for iOS

Yea sounds like a port forwarding issue, please record a screen recording when you see it again, and if possible, some steps to reproduce so the team can work on a fix.

After some days with other activities, I am now trying to work on my project again. I am facing the problem again: from my codespace I execute 'flask run' I am presented with a url that I ctrl-click My application flickers a white screen, and then return to a black screen with the url https://auth.preview.app.github.dev/authenticate-codespace/phidipedx-code50-116666796-j6554ggvxxw3wr4?cid=aae89e8b691225b41eb3a3e9e60794df&port=5000&visibility=private If I close the app with ctrl-c, close the browser tab and try again, the same thing happens. I I close everything, and do a new login to the codespace via github, I may be lucky that it works. So that is what I do until it works.
