Is it possible to upgrade an older project from a template, to have the Firebase Studio Prototyper?
- Start a new project, prototype anything, just ask for something very very simple.
- when it’s done, go to the backend <>
- delete files created (keep idx, and gitignore), upload your project files (skip any cache, node modules or anything else that is build on start)
- run the command: npm install
- when it’s done, go firevase studio homescreen and reset the project
- load the project and you prompt the prototyper normally
- tell him you made an extensive change in the code base and that he must read the entire codebase to get to know the project.
- then tell him for now on to disregard any code he created while prototyping, including the project idea/blueprint and to stick to the current project he just red.
This should work, if it doesn’t try to reset again, still not working, start debugging with the prototyper sending him the terminal errors from the development interface.
you can reference this post for more details on the procedure, although this was for projects already created, it works with your case too just with less steps:
