Prototyper Disconnects – Anyone Else Experiencing This?

[Gondy]

Hey everyone,

I’ve been having a rough time with the prototyper lately and wanted to see if anyone else is running into something similar—or better yet, has found a fix.

Here’s what’s happening: I input a prompt into the chat, and it takes quite a while to respond. Eventually, it starts working, but just a few seconds in, it suddenly freezes. After that, the input box shows a spinning refresh icon that never stops with this message “Reconnecting - Reload browser tab if this persists”. At that point, the whole VM becomes unresponsive, and I have to do a full reset to try again.

I’ve tried simplifying my prompts, thinking maybe that was the issue, but it doesn’t seem to matter. No matter what I input, it gets stuck and crashes. Right now, I’m completely blocked and can’t make any progress on my project.

If anyone has suggestions, workarounds, or even just similar experiences, I’d really appreciate hearing from you.

I am also facing a similar issue with prototyper. Along with something else: the preview window is not visible. Only chat is there, which is also not working. Tried full VM reset, browser refresh and reloads. Nothing is working. I’m not sure if the console logs in the screenshot are related.

Same problem here. I’m completely stuck atm. It seems to start after a good night sleep. So hopefull that I can continue. After a few sentences in Gemini (in prototyper modus) Gemini stay’s in reconnecting status. It does not come back. Switching to code works, but the Gemini in there isn’t the same Gemini as in Prototyper it seems. Very frustrating. I liked Firebase studio so far, but last few day’s its pretty much unworkable
