Hi everyone, I’m still pretty new to Firebase Studio and I’m currently working on my first project using App Blueprints, mostly with the help of AI assistance. I ran into a problem and would love to get your advice or suggestions. For the past few days, I have been working on a single Blueprint fo…

This is what the terminal returns: studio-413803001:~/studio{master}$ ls -al ~/.idx/ai/capra-thread.json -rw-r–r-- 1 user user 26537 May 16 15:07 /home/user/.idx/ai/capra-thread.json But in my file explorer, there is no ai folder inside my .idx directory at all. See screenshot – or am I missing …

Same here. Prototyper is stuck in a loop and won’t stop asking me about prototyping another app. Meanwhile, gemini on the code side has forgotten how to find my code or know where to look. I have to hand feed it. Not sure why. The tool appears to be getting less useful despite all its strengths. I’v…

Even though I made a topic on this (recently) posting in here to follow for updates as I have the same issues. Also, can not located the files like you have shown above. Any solutions would be great!

Navigate to ~/User/.idx/ai/. You’ll find two JSON files there—your installation may show them as empty, especially the more important capra-thread.json. Back them up regularly (e.g., after each major coding session). If you have an existing backup—no matter how old—copy it into this folder t…

I am having the same issue and I have found a few other threads from this week with users reporting the same problem. I am backing up all of my data now and next I am going to try to add them to a new project file. I tried doing this once before, but none of my new projects are showing up in my Fir…

Thanks - this has not resolved my “prototyper stuck in prototyping loop” issue I’m afraid. Prototyper is simply hung up, or hung over, from me. Maybe I deserve it. But I am hesitant to start from scratch for the 3rd time. Appreciate the info though. Bug report already submitted.

I have attempted this solution as well and it has not corrected my issue as well. It is the same as @grazinghippo . Thank you as well for providing us something to try!

Ran into the same prototyping loop with my app as well. It keeps wanting to make a new app instead of working on the existing one. It’s very frustrating and am unable to use prototyper because of it. Maybe this has to do with the new Gemini 2.5 pro version that went live today for prototyper…

On a +ve note, I found that if I stop using the built-in gemini model and instead enter my gemini-api-key, switch to another model, suddenly, at least for me, gemini remembers my chats and can also look at other files - kind of like the prototyper if it needs to - depending on the prompts. So, I’ve …
