Hi everyone,
I’m looking for help with a critical issue in Firebase Studio regarding the Gemini integration, which started on July 3rd around 2 PM (London time). I’m hoping to see if anyone else is experiencing this.
The Initial Problem:
I was in the middle of a session in Prototyper Mode , debugging a Firestore connection, when the Gemini session abruptly stopped.
Current State of the Workspace:
-
Prototyper Mode: The Gemini chat window is visible, but no matter what I send, it ignores the input and responds with the default “Prototype this APP” message and an app blueprint. It’s completely unusable.
-
Code Mode: The Gemini extension and the preview window have disappeared entirely.
Troubleshooting Steps Taken:
-
Restarted the VM: I initially got a “server is busy” error. It eventually restarted, but the problems remain.
-
Checked Service Status: The Firebase Status page shows all services are operational.
-
Checked Gemini Connection: I ran curl -I https://gemini.google.com in the terminal and received a 502 Bad Gateway error, suggesting a server-side issue.
-
Created a New Workspace: The problem persists even in a completely new workspace.
-
Contacted Support: I have a ticket open with Firebase support but I don’t expect to receive any reply within 3-5 days.
Has anyone else encountered this specific behaviour? It seems like a direct connection issue with Gemini that isn’t being reflected on the official status pages.
Any insights or confirmation would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
